Chapter 2: Overview of the ISE Design Suite
Using the Project Browser
The Project Browser, accessible by selecting File > Project Browser, provides a convenient
way to compare, view, and open projects as follows:
•
Compare key characteristics between multiple projects.
•
View Design Summary and Reports for a selected project before opening the full
project.
•
Compare detailed information for two selected projects.
•
Open a selected project in the current Project Navigator session.
•
Open a selected project in a new Project Navigator session.
Using Project Archives
You can also archive the entire project into a single compressed file. This allows for easier
transfer over email and storage of numerous projects in a limited space.
Creating an Archive
To create an archive, do the following:
1.
Select Project > Archive.
2.
In the Project Archive dialog box, enter the archive name and location.
3.
Click Save.
Note: The archive contains all of the files in the project directory along with project settings. Remote
sources are included in the archive under a folder named remote_sources. For more information,
see the ISE Help.
Restoring an Archive
You cannot restore an archived file directly into Project Navigator. The compressed file can
be extracted with any ZIP utility, and you can then open the extracted file in Project
Navigator.
