Generate Spaced Wire/Multicore

Marker

Automatically positions markers with equal spacing along a wire or multicore, and generates the marker text from the design data.

Usage

Copy

Add a marker at intervals of Spacing on Wire matching <any> using text = Text and color = <no color>

Arguments

Click the colored arguments to configure the constraint. Red hyperlink arguments are mandatory, and green arguments are optional.

See the Marker Constraints Overview for further argument configuration information common to all Marker constraints.

Argument	Description
CopySpacing	Number of units to specify the distance between the markers.
CopyWire	Choose to apply the constraint to a matching Wire or Multicore object type.
Copy<any>	Use to specify a query expression condition to drive the selection of the associated matching object. Click the text to open a popup where you can select: A predefined query from the list. Edit or New — Opens the Condition dialog box, to create or edit a new query. In the Condition dialog box, click the Advanced Editor button (), to open the Edit Query Expressions dialog box and create or edit advanced queries.
CopyText	Use to specify a query text expression to drive the required marker text. Click the text to open a popup where you can select: A predefined query from the list. Edit or New — Opens the Text Expression dialog box, to create or edit a new query.
Copy<no color>	Use to specify the marker color from the list defined in Library.

Examples

Example

1

These constraints add markers spaced at 50 unit intervals, including white marker text (combining the multicore name and type) on black multicores, or black marker text on multicores of any other color.
