Terminal Properties in Floorplan Property File
A floorplan property file is an extension used to store the configurable parameters of a floorplan and reuse those parameters to configure a new design. These properties are used to create soft blocks for the instances in the physical hierarchy. The image below shows an example of the properties that can be set for terminals in the design.
You can load a floorplan property file using the Configure Physical Hierarchy (CPH) window. The GUI equivalent of properties which are defined in the (CPH) window is displayed in the following image.
