Automatically Converting Butt Splices to Center Strip Splices

You can convert butt splices to center strip splices automatically when you have set the Generate center-strip Splices constraint for objects on a design. Wiring synthesis creates butt splices so this action is performed after you have synthesized wiring. Center strip wires are selected automatically from the wires connected to each butt splice. By default, the system tries to use wires that are in the maximum number of harness levels, contain the largest number of splices and are as long as possible. Butt splices in slots and shield signals are ignored by this action.

Procedure

1. With the design open, press Space Bar and enter Generate Center-Strip Splice.The Generate Center-Strip Splices dialog box displays a progress bar.

2. When the conversion is complete, click Close.

Results

• In the Design Browser (Design tab), the center strip wires have the icon and the center strip splices have the icon .

• The Synthesis tab in the Output Window lists the converted splices.
