13.11 Instantiating a Designer Block Component in Designer

To instantiate (import) a Designer Blocks into a design:
  1. Open your design.
  2. Deselect Enable Designer Block creation in the Setup Design dialog box.
  3. Import your netlist (*.v, *.vhd, or EDIF file) and CDB files from your component. The CDB file is created when you publish your component.

If you have no I/Os, the imported Designer Block must have the same family and die as your current design.

If you have I/Os in your Designer Blocks, the imported block must have the same family, die, and package as your current design.

Note: IGLOO, ProASIC3, SmartFusion and Fusion families ONLY - Blocks that contain only COREs and RAM/FIFOs can be instantiated in a design belonging to any family and die.
