Description
Imports the Partition specified with the -partition option from a QXP file with the name specified by the
-qxp option.
Use the -create_assignments option to control whether assignments will be imported from the child
project into this project's QSF file. The default value is on.
Use the -update_assignments option to control the behavior when handling conflicting assignments.
replace: overwrites the existing assignment
skip: preserves the current assignment
The default value is replace.
Use the -update_logiclock option to control the behavior when handling imported LogicLock regions.
LogicLock regions are represented as a set of assignments that specify the region size and placement.
When a LogicLock region with the same name exists in both the QXP being imported and in the top
project, the following conflict resolution options are available:
■ replace: this overwrites all the region properties in the current project based on the settings in the qxp
■ update: this overwrites all the region properties except for the LL_ORIGIN based on the settings in the
qxp
■ skip: this ignores the settings in the qxp
The default value is update.
Use the -import_pin_assignments option to control whether pin assignments from the qxp should be
added to this project. The default value is off.
Use the -promote_assignments option to control whether assignments should be promoted during import.
Promotion modifies the assignment from the qxp to match the instance in the current project. The default
value is on.
