Running Design Rule Checks in the Design Assistant

You can use the Design Assistant to run design rule checks to identify errors in designs. When doing this, project preferences control which design rule checks run. The Design Assistant groups together a number of design rule checks and other actions within a single interface. This helps you to understand where you are in the design flow.

Prerequisites

• You must have made the Design Assistant visible by pressing Space Bar and entering Assistant.

• You must have specified the checks that you want to run in the Design Assistant in the project preferences. See Project Preferences.

Procedure

1. Select the toggle Include Design Assistant DRCs () in the Design Assistant.

2. Click the Run the Design Assistant’s checks () button in the Design Assistant; the results of the checks display in the Design Assistant Output Table.Figure 4: DRC Results in Output Table
