Creating a schematic source file

Use ViewDraw AE to create your schematic source files.

To create a schematic source file:

1. From the File menu, click New.

2. Select Schematic and type a name for your schematic file in the Name field. Click OK. ViewDraw AE starts.

3. Using ViewDraw AE, create your schematic.

4. When you are done, click Save+Check. The Save+Check command creates your WIR file. When Save and Check is complete, the message “Check complete, 0 errors and 0 warnings in project <name>” appears in the status bar.  You must select Save & Check. Only selecting Save will not generate the needed WIR file for that block.

5. (Optional) Run connectivity checker. Right-click the schematic file in the File Manager tab and click Check Schematic. The connectivity checker checks the connectivity of the wir file. Errors and warnings appear in the log window.

6. From the File menu, click Exit. The schematic is saved to your project in Libero, appearing in both the File Manager and the Design Hierarchy tabs.
