Unplacing

all Placed Devices

If you want to change the placement of devices (possibly after automatic placement), you can use one action to unplace all placed devices (from all associated logical designs) from the slots.

Prerequisites

If you want the action to automatically delete any wires that become obsolete, ensure that the “Automatically delete obsolete wiring after unplace or uncombine” project preference has been selected. See Project Preferences for Capital Systems Integrator Designs in the Capital Design Tools – Common Functions User Guide.

Procedure

Press Space Bar and enter Unplace all Devices.
The symbols for the devices are grayed out in the Logical Designs Browser (Function tab) and the devices are removed from the Design Browser (Design tab).Note If you unplace a device that has wires connected to it, the system does not delete the wires. If you want to delete them, either run wiring synthesis again or manually delete the wires (see Deleting the Synthesized Wiring for all Signals or Deleting the Synthesized Wiring for Selected Signals).

Results

If the “Automatically delete obsolete wiring after unplace or uncombine” project preference has been selected, the action deletes any wires that are now obsolete and reports this in the Place tab in the Output Window at the bottom of the Capital Systems Integrator application. It deletes obsolete wires for all signals that are or were connected to the selected devices.
```
              Regardless of whether the project preference is selected, the
                  action deletes obsolete wires which are connected to a device through a
                  hole.
```

Note If you have not selected this project preference, you can manually delete obsolete wires. See Deleting Obsolete Wiring for a Slot, Connector, or Signal.

The Change History tab in the Output Window also reports on any wires that have been modified or deleted.
