Description

Layout
|
This section lets you control whether the system creates a new layout view or opens an existing one for the schematic.
|
|
Create New
|
Opens the New File form where you type the name of a new layout view for your Layout XL design.
|
|
Open Existing
|
Opens the Open File form where you can choose an existing layout view.
|
|
Configuration
|
This section lets you control the physical configuration view used for your design.
|
|
Create New
|
Opens the Create Physical Configuration View form where you can specify a new physical configuration view for the design. This happens after you have specified the layout view.
|
|
Open Existing
|
Opens the Open Physical Configuration View form where you can choose an existing physical configuration view. This happens after you have specified the layout view.
|
|
Automatic
|
Notifies Layout XL to handle all operations related to the physical configuration view automatically. The system creates a physical configuration view (or opens it, if one already exists) containing the minimum information required for Layout XL to operate correctly, and manages this information automatically throughout the session.
If you need to modify the hierarchy configuration, component type definitions, or soft blocks at a later time, use the Launch – Configure Physical Hierarchy command.
