When you stop the currently running Place and Route process using
the
Process > Stop command, this dialog box
appears. You can use this dialog box to do any of the following.
- Ignore interrupt and continue processing
Closes the dialog box and continues processing your design.
- Exit program immediately
Closes the dialog box and immediately stops the process.
- Preserve most recent SmartPreview™ and continue processing
Saves an intermediate view of your design after the design
has been fully placed and routed but before timing has been fully
met, then continues the Place and Route process. This option allows
you to avoid waiting until the design has been fully implemented to
perform simulation or analysis, while also allowing the implementation
process to continue running to work toward fully meeting your specified
timing requirements.
If you select this option, temporary output
files are saved in the SmartPreview folder in your project directory.
You must then view or analyze the files using standalone tools such
as Timing Analyzer, FPGA Editor, or BitGen. You can access standalone
tools from a command line outside of Project Navigator. For information
on command line tools, see the
Command Line Tools User Guide.
