Using a Constraint to Manage the Length of a Jumper Wire

You can manage the length of jumper wires that are generated by wiring synthesis. Jumper wires have a length of 0.0 by default.

Procedure

Prior to running wiring synthesis, set the “Length change for Jumper” constraint on the necessary objects in a design (connectors, holes, slots or the design itself). See Overview of Rules and Constraints for more information about setting rules and constraints.
Edit the constraint. Examples of using the constraint are:Length change Absolute = 5.0 for jumper of signal matching Name = COND.* In this example, the Length attribute is set to 5.0 for any jumper wires carrying signals with a Name attribute value that starts COND. Length change Offset = 4.0 for jumper of signal matching Name = COND.* In this example, the Length attribute is set to the calculated graphical length plus 4.0 for any jumper wires carrying signals with a Name attribute value that starts COND.
