Automatically Placing all Unplaced Ground Devices

You can use one action to automatically place all unplaced ground devices from the associated logical designs in slots. When you do this, the system selects the slots.

Procedure

Press Space Bar and enter Auto-Place All Grounds.
The progress of the action displays. You can click the Stop button to abort the placement of the devices. When placing a ground device, the system maps signals to cavities on the best connector in the slot. A cavity in the chosen connector already associated with a signal on the device is reused, otherwise a new cavity is created for each signal.
The symbols for the ground devices are no longer grayed out in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab) and the devices are added to the Design Browser (Design tab).When you place a device, any signals associated with that device are added to the Signals folder in the Design Browser (Design tab). They are placed in one of the following sub-folders: Unrouted Signals that are required for the active levels in the topological design but that the system has not routed yet.

Unconnected Signals that are not required for the active levels in the topological design and that are not routed.
