Foundation Report Browser - Changing the Report Browser from Foundation Project Manager has no effect on the implementation reports
描述
Keywords: Report Browser, Word, NotePad, Design Manager, Project Manager, preferences
Urgency: Standard
General Description: I would like to use the text editor used to view reports generated by the Foundation implementation tools; however, when I change my preferences from Foundation Project Manager, there is no effect on the browser that I use to view implementation reports.
解决方案
Please note that two different browsers are associated with the Foundation tools:
1. The first is used for browsing the reports from the Design Entry tools (e.g., the Synthesis log file). 2. The second is used for browsing reports generated by the implementation (back-end/place and route) tools (e.g., the PAR report).
You can change your preferences in the first browser by using following these steps in the Foundation Project Manager: File -> Preferences -> Configuration -> Text Editor.
You can change your preferences in the second browser by opening Xilinx Design Manager (in stand-alone mode) as follows: Start -> Programs -> Xilinx Foundation Series -> Accessories -> Design Manager; Then, go to: File -> Preferences -> Editor for Viewing Files
It is not possible to change the Report Browser used to view the implementation reports without open the Design Manager in stand-alone mode.
