Course Description

In this course, you analyze how to generate clones as Free Objects, Grouped Objects, and Synchronized family. You use the synchronous copy feature, generate clones from modgen, generate mutant clones, and analyze how to effectively reuse existing structures in your layout by using clone and copy. You create layout structures using the features of Generate Clones and Synchronous Copy options. You update your layout after an Engineering Change Order (ECO) and update the layout to reflect the pin name changes between schematic and layout by using the Update Components and Nets (UCN) command.

The following videos for this course include:

How to Generate Clones as Free Objects

How to Generate Clones as Grouped Objects

How to Generate Clones as Synchronized Family

How to Generate Synchronous Copy Clones of Wires and Examine its Synchronous Behavior

How to Generate Synchronous Copy Clones of Modgen and Examine its Synchronous Behavior

How to Generate Mutant Clones with Exact Connectivity turned ON / OFF with Relax Match Options

How to Update the Net and the Pin Names and Implement the Schematic Changes in the Layout

NOTE: This course is compatible with IC 23.1
