10.1.3 Multisection Components
Multisection components in different subcircuits, hierarchical blocks or multipages of the
same design may be placed on the same IC even though they may have different Reference
Designators.
10.2 Forward Annotation
Forward Annotation lets you annotate changes made to a schematic file in Multicap to its
existing Ultiboard file.
To forward annotate changes to Ultiboard:
1. Select
Transfer/Forward Annotate to Ultiboard or click on the Forward Annotate button in
the
Standard toolbar. A standard Save As dialog box appears.
2. Enter the desired filename and filepath and click
Save. This file can be opened in
Ultiboard and used to update the circuit information.
10.3 Back Annotation
Back Annotation allows you to incorporate changes to a circuit that were made in Ultiboard
(for example, deleted components) into the corresponding Multicap circuit file.
To back annotate changes made in Ultiboard:
1. Select
Transfer/Back Annotate from Ultiboard or click on the Back Annotate button in the
Standard toolbar. A standard Open dialog box appears.
2. Select the desired .log file and click
Open. The Annotation Log dialog box appears.
3. Select the changes that you wish to back annote to your Multicap file and click
OK.
Note The circuit file must be open before you use this command.
Note If a changed part is in a hierarchical block or a subcircuit with multiple instances,
changes will be ignored.
