Rule category: High Speed

Rule classification: Unary

Summary

This rule specifies the minimum and maximum lengths of a net.

Constraints

Default constraints for the Length rule.

• Length Units - choose this option to define the length as a distance.
• Delay Units - choose this option to define the length as a time (how long the signal takes to travel along that length of route).
• Minimum - the value for the minimum permissible length of the net.
• Maximum - the value for the maximum permissible length of the net.

How Duplicate Rule Contentions are Resolved

All rules are resolved by the priority setting. The system goes through the rules from highest to lowest priority and picks the first one whose scope expression matches the object(s) being checked.
