| Routing Component Wizard |
When you use the Routing
Component Wizard of the Routing
Library Manager, the creation of routing library
components is more efficient. The wizard displays only the essential
tabs that you use to create routing components for different types of
routes. The wizard responds faster when you switch tabs. In the tab, all component-specific column headers are
displayed. The design table information is locked. You can edit
column headers in the wizard and click Next to apply the changes to the design
table.
In the tab, components with multiple configurations load
only the active configuration parameters. Other configuration data
is loaded only when you select the configuration in the tab, which
accelerates the tab's performance.

| Design Table Check |
In the Routing Component
Wizard, when no Design Library exists for a part, the
Design Table Check node is
available. A message prompts you to create a new design table. Previously, if no design table existed for a part,
the Design Table Check node was
unavailable and there was no option to create a new design
table.

components.
