Generating the Physical Hierarchy

Use the Generate Physical Hierarchy command to generate the components in your design while maintaining the hierarchy levels you have defined in Soft Block mode

To generate the physical hierarchy:

1. In the Configure Physical Hierarchy window, define or load the soft block parameters you require. From the layout window menu bar, choose Launch – Layout XL. In addition, you must draw 4 Layout GXL tokens.
2. From the layout window menu bar, choose Floorplan – Generate Physical Hierarchy.
3. The physical hierarchy is generated in the layout window, including the soft blocks defined in the Configure Physical Hierarchy window.
