Automatically Placing all Unplaced

Ground Devices from a Particular Logical Design

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

Procedure

Click the design name in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab), press Space Bar, and enter Auto-Place 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).
