13.11.1 Exporting an Instantiated Designer Block Component

You can export component CDB files after you instantiate (import) them into your design. You may wish to reuse the files in another design, or rerun the flow again.

To export a CDB file, from the File menu, choose Export > Netlist Files and for the Save as type, choose Microchip CDB files (*.cdb). The exported CDB file is identical to the original imported CDB file.

If you export a Designer Block that contains multiple CDB files, the exported files are identical to the original imported CDB files.

If your design contains many CDB files, the block name is added as a suffix to the specified filename; the names of all exported files are listed in the Log window. For example:

Wrote to files:
E:\block\dblock.cdb
E:\block\dblock_core2.cdb
