3.2 Components of ChipEditor

The ChipEditor interface is divided into four windows:

  • ChipView window - view your design elements
  • Assigned list box - assign macros to pins
  • Unassigned list box- unassign macros from pins
  • World View window - select the area of the design to display in the Package window

These windows are highly integrated; anything selected in one is selected or highlighted in all. Commands are accessible from the menu bar and frequently-used commands are on the toolbar.

All the windows and bars are independently sizeable, dockable, and closable. In UNIX, floating windows are not sizeable. To redock or refloat a window, simply double-click the window’s title bar.
