Locating Where Signals Are Used in Designs
From Capital Dictionary, you can identify the designs in which a particular signal is used. This is useful if a signal has become obsolete or needs to be updated in a design.
Procedure
- In the Signals panel, select the signal by clicking the tick at the start of the row; the "Locate the designs in which the signal is used" button becomes enabled.
- Click the "Locate the designs in which the signal is used" button; a "Usages for Signal" table displays.
Results
The table displays the following information for each design:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Project | The project containing the design. |
| Design | The design name, its revision, and its short description. |
| Design Type | The type of design: platform or functional. |
Note: You can filter and sort the columns in the table. You can use this functionality for one signal at a time.
