Position the cursor over the required object within the workspace and click or press Enter. For this mode, ensure that the schematic and PCB documents are open side-by-side in the main design window.Īfter launching the cross-probe command by clicking Tools » Cross Probe, the cursor will change to a cross-hair and you will be prompted to choose the object that you wish to navigate. The Continuous Mode allows you to stay in the source document while cross-probing to different objects on the target document. There are two cross-probing modes, Continuous Mode and Jump-To Mode, which are both described in the following sections.
In order to perform cross-probing, ensure that the source schematic and PCB documents for the project are open as tabbed documents in the main design window. This function checks for logical, electrical, and drafting errors between the UDM and compiler settings.
Dynamic compilation also can be performed manually at any time by clicking Project » Validate PCB Project. Cross-probing features use auto-compilation, ensuring the very latest model of the data is being used. The UDM models every aspect of the design, including the components, the connectivity, the component footprints, the relationships between the PCB project and a connected FPGA project, etc. It is this Unified Data Model that enables cross-probing functionality between different design domains. Unified Data Model And Project CompilationĪ Unified Data Model (UDM) is automatically created in the computer’s memory. Literally, with a single click, you can select a supported object in either domain and see it highlighted in both.Ĭross selecting enables you to select an object(s) on the source document and by enabling the cross select command, the same object(s) will be selected on the target document. The Cross-Probing and Cross Selecting features are powerful search tools to help locate objects in other editors by selecting the object in the current editor.Ĭross-probing is used to point to a chosen object on the current document then "jump to" its corresponding counterpart in the target document. Between the PCB and schematic editors, full cross-probing support is provided for documents, components, buses, nets, and pins/pads(s). Selecting PCB Components from the SchematicĪltium provides various powerful cross-probing and cross-selecting capabilities enabling fast, efficient navigation between schematic and PCB design domains.
