Running

Design Rule Checks in Background

You can run design rule checks in the background. When doing this, you cannot select checks at the time of running them. The checks that are run are controlled by project preferences.

For a full list and descriptions of the project preferences related to design rule checks, see the following section of the General Preferences for Design Rule Checkssection of the Project Preferences Dialog Box topic in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide.

Procedure

Click the Design Rule Checks toggle on the Status Bar at the bottom of the application:

Results

• The system runs the design rule checks that you have specified to run in background mode in Project Preferences.

• The results of the design rule checks are listed on the Check tab of the Output Window.

• The Design Rule Checks toggle changes to show a square (stop icon) and also indicates whether the checks have currently found failures or not:

• The checks run whenever changes are made to the design to which the currently active diagram belongs; the Check tab of the Output Window and Design Rule Checks toggle update dynamically to reflect the latest results.
