The Placement Regions Preference Page configures how

Placement Regions

are handled in the

Regions view

Description

Placement Region Boundary Alignment

Snap to Clock Region
Boundaries

When creating, resizing, or moving Placement Regions, the Placement
Region boundaries will be forced to align with Clock Region Boundaries.
Use this for a simple, coarse-grained approach to Placement Regions.
Recommended setting for most 22iHD use cases.

Snap to Tile
Boundaries

When creating, resizing, or moving Placement Regions, the Placement
Region boundaries will be forced to align with Tile Boundaries, for a very
fine-grained region. Recommended only for advanced users of 22iHD
devices.

Drag and Drop Actions

Add only flops to the
constraint

When using drag-and-drop to assign Placement Region Constraints, this
setting ensures only flops will be assigned to the region constraint. All other
dropped items will be excluded from the constraint.

Include constants in
the constraint

When using drag-and-drop to assign Placement Region Constraints, this
setting allows constants to be included in the constraint. This setting is
ignored if ”Add only flops to the constraint” is enabled.
