Rules and Constraints

Defining Rules

In Capital Logic Designer, rules are groups of associated constraints that you can apply to a whole design. A rule can contain (reference) other rules and therefore include their constraints.

Procedure

  1. Open the project for which you want to define rules, press the space bar and enter Rules.If rules or rule libraries have been defined, they are displayed in the Rules window.

  2. Click New, enter a new rule name, and then click OK.

  3. Click Add Constraint and select a constraint template from the Constraint Selection dialog box. Click OK to exit the Constraint Selection dialog box.The constraint is displayed in the Rules Contents window. See Rules and Constraints to edit constraints. You can select to use the standard version or a custom version of this constraint by clicking the icon at the start of the constraint. This displays a dropdown list containing the standard version of this constraint and any custom versions of this constraint. Select the required version from the list and click the OK button. If the icon is white, it indicates a standard constraint. A yellow icon indicates a custom constraint.

  4. Add and edit all of the required constraints for the rule, and then click OK.
