Concept: Designating Components On-the-Fly

Designating Components On-the-Fly
Designate an otherwise undesignated component on-the-fly.

If a component is not designated, and once its CSYS is selected, you are prompted to autodesignate the
component. If you select Yes, the component is designated with the default parameters and then enables wire
connections.

To designate a component on-the-fly, follow these steps:

• Right-click and select Allow Undesignated CSYS when routing a wire/cable.

Figure 1 – Allow Undesignated CSYS

• Select a CSYS belonging to an undesignated component.
