13.25.5 Changing Design name and family

Design name and family are set when you create a new design. However, you can change this information for existing designs. If you change the family, you must re-import the netlist. Use the following procedure to change the name of a design and the targeted Microchip family for the design.

To change the design name or family in Designer:

1. In the Designer Tools menu, choose Setup Design. This displays the Setup Design dialog box.
2. Specify the design name and family.
3. Click OK. Refer to the respective datasheet for your device for family specifications.

You may wish to migrate your SX device to an SX-A device. The SX to SX-A compatible family change option is available in the Device Selection wizard.

To migrate your SX design to SX-A:

1. Open your SX design.
2. From the Designer Tools menu, choose Device Selection.
3. Select SXA from the Change to drop-down menu, and proceed in the Device Selection Wizard to complete the migration. You must re-compile and layout your design to run the Designer User Tools.
