_N_A_M_E
          current_chip   Set the current chip


SYNTAX
          string current_chip [-no_save] [-reset] [_c_h_i_p__n_a_m_e]


         string    _c_h_i_p__n_a_m_e


ARGUMENTS
          -no_save       Do not save the current chip


          -reset         Reset the current chip to none


          _c_h_i_p__n_a_m_e      Chip name


DESCRIPTION
          current_chip sets or displays the _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _c_h_i_p.  The
          _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _c_h_i_p is required for all fe_shell
            commands that modify an existing chip.  These
          include:

               optimize_chip
               export_chip

          If no _c_h_i_p__n_a_m_e is given, then the name of the _c_u_r_r_e_n_t
          _c_h_i_p is displayed.  If a _c_h_i_p__n_a_m_e is specified and a
          chip exists with a name that matches a chip in the
          _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _p_r_o_j_e_c_t, then that chip will become the _c_u_r_r_e_n_t
          _c_h_i_p.  It is an error to try to use as a _c_u_r_r_e_n_t _c_h_i_p,
          a chip that does not yet exist (see create_chip).
          If -nosave is specified, the existing current chip will
          not be saved to disk.  By default, it will be written
          to disk.



EXAMPLES
          fe_shell > create_project -dir . fesproj
          fe_shell > add_file prep4.vhd
          fe_shell > analyze_file
          fe_shell > create_chip -target VIRTEX -name p_v prep4
          fe_shell > current_chip -name p_v
          fe_shell > optimize_chip -name prep4_opt
          fe_shell > export_chip
          fe_shell > quit
