13.7.7.3 Find Ports/Find Nets/Find Instances in SmartDesign

These searches are available only when you have a SmartDesign open. SmartDesign highlights your search results for ports/nets/instances on the Canvas.

• Match case: Select to search for case-sensitive occurrences of a port/net/instance. This limits the search so it only locates the objects that match the upper- and lowercase characters you enter.
• Overwrite previous results: Clears any currently selected ports/nets/instances in your design before selecting the matching ports/nets/instances.
• Append to previous results: Appends any new matches to the currently selected ports/nets/instances in your design.
