Source Properties — Design View Properties Dialog Box

ISE

Use this dialog box to verify and edit information about the selected source file. To access this dialog box, select a source file in the Design panel, Files panel, or Libraries panel, and select Source > Source Properties.

View Association
Specifies the Design View to which the module is associated. This setting determines which Design View the source file will appear in when you select a Design View from the Design View (“Sources for”) drop-down list in the Design panel. HDL sources can be associated with Simulation, Implementation, or All. Test bench or simulation models should be associated with Simulation only. For more information on Design Views, see Using the Design Views.
Note For simulation source files, including test benches, you must ensure that the associated Design View is set to a Simulation view. Project Navigator automatically selects the Design View association for simulation source files and test benches based on the source file name. For more information, including how to customize this automatic selection, see Test Benches.
Include as Global File in Compile List
Forces the selected file to be compiled at the start of the compile order, both to build the design hierarchy and to create the .prj file sent to synthesis. This option allows you to place specific files at the start of the compile order, but allows the software to automatically determine the compile order for the rest of the design source files. By default, this option is deselected. For more information, see Setting a Custom Compile Order.
Source Library
Lists the library with which the selected source file is associated, for example, the default work library. For more information on libraries, see Libraries panel.
