15.2.8 Using the Global Checker

The Global Checker only checks the validity of the current global net assignments. Global net checks are a subset of the Design Rule Check (DRC). If the Global Checker finds potential errors, it displays warning and error messages in MultiView Navigator's Log window.

In MVN, when you choose Commit and Check from the File menu, the Global Checker automatically performs comprehensive checking in addition to committing the changes to your design.
