You can import instances from a file which was exported
via the export function of the Design explorer view
or output by the VA Pac batch migration procedures. These instances
will populate the selected location of the Design explorer view
as well as the selected project(s) in the Navigator view.
- In the Design explorer view, open
a location (it must be represented by
).
- Right-click on the location line, on an entity line or
an instance line and select Import in the popup
menu. This opens a two-page import wizard:
- On the first page, you specify the import file, and the location
and project(s) into which the instances are to be imported. Click Finish if
all the instances contained in the file are to be imported. Otherwise,
click Next to access the second page of the
wizard.
- On the second page, you specify the instances to be imported,
and whether they are to overwrite identically-named instances, if
any, in the target location. Then click Finish.
Results
The selected instances are then imported into the location
you have specified. They are also physically distributed into a specified
project or into a structure of projects, as you can see in the
Navigator view
of the
Design perspective.
