5.11.3.1 Options

Generates (exports) your Netlist, Placement, Routing, and Region information. The options available depend on whether you ran place-and-route, placer only, or compile.

Netlist - Always published by default. You cannot deselect this option.

Placement - Available only if you have already run place. This option fixes the internal block elements so they will not move after you import them in your <top> design. Select this option if you are satisfied with the current placement of your block.

Routing - Available if you run place-and-route and opt to preserve Placement. This option fixes your place-and-route and ensures that your block timing does not change in your <top> design.

Region - Exports the regions (if any) you used when you created your block. Useful if you use an exclusive region on top of your Designer Block. You can delete these regions in your <top> design.

The only recommended use case for this option is when you add an exclusive region on top of your block. Microchip recommends you leave this option unselected for all other cases.

Language - Specify your export language.

Comment - Add a comment to your exported files (visible in Designer in the Block report available in Tools > Reports

> Block).
