There are four possible values for each rule: Fatal Error, Error, Warning, and No Report. For example, an output pin connected to another output pin would normally be regarded as an error condition, but two connected passive pins would not.Ĭlick on the small square in the matrix to change a particular rule. Each rule determines the reporting level for a given pin/net identifier combination. It defines the logical or electrical conditions that are to be reported as warnings or errors. The matrix provides a mechanism to establish connectivity rules between component pins and net identifiers, such as Ports and Sheet Entries. The Connection Matrix defines which electrical conditions are allowed and which are not allowed. The electrical connectivity is checked in accordance with the settings on the Connection Matrix tab of the Project Options dialog.
See the PCB Design Violation Types section below for detailed information about each error check. For those warnings that are not an issue for the current design, the reporting level can be changed.
Generally, it is better to first validate the design and examine the warnings with the default settings. Click within the Report Mode cell of a violation to change it for this violation. Drafting Checksĭuring validation, common drafting and editing errors are checked in accordance with the settings on the Error Reporting tab of the Project Options dialog. The error checks are organized in groups, for example, Violations Associated with Nets, Violations Associated with Components, etc. The groups are listed alphabetically in the dialog. The Report Mode of each violation can be changed to one of four values by clicking on it and selecting the desired value in the drop-down.Ĭonfigure the required error checks on the Error Reporting tab of the Project Options dialog. The default settings will not suit every design and, therefore, it is important to become familiar with the options and how to configure them to suit your design. Select the Project » Project Options command from the main menus to open the Project Options dialog.
These are configured as part of the project options. There are a large number of drafting and electrical checks that can be performed on the validated design. Use the controls associated with the Object Hints entry in the Connectivity Insight Options region (the System – Design Insight page of the Preferences dialog) to determine the launch style for object hints ( Mouse Hover and/or Alt+Double Click).
