Legacy Information

This appendix provides information for Design Manager and Flow Engine legacy users. It describes changes that have occurred to the following in this release.

Implementation Revisions

In this release, option data is stored at the revision level. Implementation revisions from the previous release do not have option data stored at the revision level. If you attempt to open an implementation revision from the previous release with the Design Manger in this release, the Design Manager copies the option information from the project area to each revision.

To keep your old revision intact, make a copy of your entire project tree, or do not attempt to open it with the Design Manger in this release.

Place and Route Effort Level

To enhance ease of use, the Place & Route Effort Level setting has moved from the Place and Route tab of the Implementation Options dialog box to the Options dialog box. When you open a project from the previous release with the new software, the Place & Route Effort Level setting from the Implementation Options dialog box is not retained. Instead, the software uses the default value of 2 from the Place & Route Effort Level setting in the Options dialog box.

Option Location

Some of the options from the previous release have been moved to enhance ease of use. The following table shows these options with their old and new locations.

Clipboard Data

In this release, the project clipboard is no longer used. If you want to use the clipboard data from an old implementation revision, copy the old revision data to the new revision as follows.

If you have not yet created your new revision, adjust settings in the Copy Persistent Data field of the New Version, New Revision, or Set Part dialog box
If you have already created your new revision, adjust settings in the Set Floorplan File(s) or Set Guide File(s) dialog box
