Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention is a window operation interface and method for graphically modifying an electrical constraint set, in particular, applying preview modification and batch modification electrical constraint set The window operation interface and its method. [Prior Art] In recent years, the design of electronic products has become increasingly complex, and it is particularly important to use a set of easy-to-use and powerful electronic design automation (EDA) systems. Cadence Design Systems Inc. is the world's largest supplier of Electronic Design Technologies, program solutions services and design services, covering the entire process of electronic design, and Allegr〇 is one of the layers for printed circuits. PCB (primed circuit board) As a design platform for winding layout, it has the advantages of good operation, easy modification, and high support for related software. It can also develop related software according to its own needs. When the early hardware engineers designed the system, the usual practice was to write out the design requirements one by one, and then tell the multilayer printed circuit board design engineering how to do it, but for complex systems, and thousands of The connection and restrictions 'is difficult to complete management and implementation--there is an internal modeling group C〇nstraint(10) sinking in Auegr〇, which can be used for the wiring pattern and signal to be followed. The relationship between the length of the line and the constraints, and the set of electrical constraints (ECSet, Electrical Constraint Set) required by the engineer, using the electrical constraints of Ϊ 277885 $ to make the wiring soft into automatic cloth is not only expected In the design, the cost can be reduced, and the error can be reduced. Because of the above-mentioned electric (four) beam conditions, the (expQrt) is a _ case, so it has the portable characteristics, so (4) reuse. However, when using the defined set of electrical constraints before use, in order to modify some of the attributes, or = before the domain (four) name, must age a coffee (four) read for the previously defined shirt useful and useless electrical Constraint conditions are concentrated, and after the file is searched for, the complicated steps such as opening, loading, inspecting, and modifying the set of electrical constraints are carried out, which is extremely convenient for the purpose of designing and re-creating. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a window operation interface for graphically modifying an electrical constraint set and a method thereof for solving the above problems, which can be operated independently of standalone Allegro, except for providing In addition to the list of all the electrical constraint sets under the directory, the real-time preview can also be used to immediately know the internal content of the selected set of electrical constraints, and directly modify the attributes to be modified. If the electrical constraint set is named according to the naming rule, the present invention also provides a method of filtering the slot name by the regular representation (regUlarexpressi〇n) method, and only retains the desired reuse in the list field. The set of electrical constraints makes it easier to view the number of files left behind, and the batch can be modified for the internal attributes of the filtered set of electrical constraints. In order to achieve the above object, the window operation medium disclosed in the present invention includes the operation interface, the round-out unit, the list unit, and the selection form. An analysis unit, and a display unit. The method for _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If the modified object exists only in the specific electrical constraint set, then the individual modification is performed. The electrical constraint set _#墣 type, that is, the component connection and the component feature value can be conveniently displayed by using the _ _ _ If the object to be modified exists in multiple New York miscellaneous items, _ batch modification can save modification time and improve efficiency. The t_ modification includes the following steps: reading the directory in which the electrical constraint set is stored; listing the list of New York wiresets in the directory; reading in a string for screening, and matching the name to the regular table of the string The set of electrical constraints is used as a list of instant file names; the user enters the list from the list, and an electrical constraint set is selected for individual modification; and, after all modifications, the set of electrical constraints is stored. When the batch is modified, the following steps are included: The user selects the directory of the set of electrical constraints to be modified and reused; ^ Receiver, collects the electrical constraints under the directory as a list of slot names; The user enters the string of characters and makes a list of the current slot names for the slot name matching the regular form of the 1278885 string; the read-user selects one or more wires from the list. The set of sexual constraints is modified once; and 〃 the set of multiple electrical constraints is stored after all modifications are completed. The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system architecture diagram of the present invention for saving development time. When the previously set electrical constraint set needs to be reused, the routing software 180 does not provide a good and convenient modification method. To meet this requirement, the system includes the following units: The window operation interface 11G is the department Subjective, including input fields, list blocker 'select form (10) and display block; t user wants to reuse the set of electrical constraints sent by the routing software 180, can select a storage wire from the input position The software (10) depends on the directory of the power constraint set, and displays the internal file name in the list field', and the selected form 14G displays the user's self-list field, and the selected electrical wire name is newly selected; _ When modifying, it is the internal attribute content of the set of non-electrical constraint conditions, and the connection relationship between the attributes, and in the batch-person modification ¥' is to display the selection form _ and the selected electrical approximate Conditions set its properties list. The input and output order 7L 120' is used for receiving the operation action of the user and reading the paper binding software of the wiring software 18, and after the modification is completed, 'the modified electrical constraint bar is saved _ Directory; when the user selects 1279788 to select the directory to store the electrical constraint set, the unit receives the directory name of the user's county, and goes to the electricity_beam condition sewing solution (7), and reads the eyebrow in the directory. The set of electrical constraints of the directory, and when the list unit (10) lists the file names of the electrical constraint sets in the list block, the unit can read the action selected by the user in the list block, in the selection form (10) shows the selected set of electrical constraints, or when the user searches for the set of electrical constraints to be modified in a normalized representation, the string of the file name to be searched is read. The user uses the set of electrical constraints that have been previously designed and touched to modify the current design. After the modification, the output unit 12 can be used to repair the New York beam. table of Contents. The list unit 130' takes the file name of each of the electrical constraint sets of the output unit 12G as a list, and can form a regular expression for the user-typed name string (regular expressi〇n) When searching for the set of electrical constraints to be modified, the list of generated-partial file names is displayed in the list block, which can be further selected by the user to be displayed in the selection form 14(). The selection form 140 can be used to allow the user to make a more advanced selection of the selected part of the list, so that the batch modification object is more clear, saving the batch modification when the 'electricity constraint bar is taken (4) The time required for the attribute can also avoid the mistake of changing to the set of electrical constraints when the batch is modified.
