Automatically Placing a Normal Device in a Slot

You can automatically place one normal device at a time in a slot. When you use this action, the system selects the slot.

Procedure

Right click on the device in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab) and choose Auto-Place Devices. Alternatively, click the device in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab), press Space Bar and enter Auto-Place Devices. The symbols for unplaced devices are grayed out in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab).
The progress of the action displays. You can click the Stop button to abort the placement of the device.
The symbol for the device is no longer grayed out in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab) and the device is added to the Design Browser (Design tab).Note When you place a device with a footprint, the system maps each footprint to a new or unused slot connector with the same default mapping as you would place it manually. You can use the Connector Map dialog box to edit the mapping.
