If this setting is enabled, the schematics generated from a layout will be placed with the same nets as their layout counterparts. This option can be accessed through the Design Differences window by clicking on the blue gear icon.
- Updated layout's Assign Nets to Layout... command, available via Tools > Assign Nets to Layout menu in the Layout window, to only assign nets to shapes whose layers have a layer binding or have the process role "Conductor" or "Conductor Via".

EM Simulation
EM Integration
- To open EMPro from an EMPro 3D component in ADS, the "Folder.png" preview file in the cell directory is no longer mandatory.
