Region Properties dialog box

To access this dialog, right-click on a region in the Regions tab of the Hierarchy window, and choose Properties.

 

 

 

Use this dialog to display the properties assigned to the selected net.

Region name

Displays the user-defined name of the selected region

Region type

Displays the selected region's type

Region Color

Displays the color assigned to the selected region. You can change this color by choosing a different color from the drop-down color box. You can also create a custom color by choosing Other from the drop-down color box. Changing a region's color does not change the color of existing regions of that type. It only changes the color of newly created regions of the selected type.

Region Extents

Displays the location and size of the selected region on the chip.

Note: You cannot use this dialog box to change a region's size. To change a region's size, select the region in the ChipPlanner window, and then drag a corner of it to the right or left to change its width. Drag a corner of the region up or down to change its height.

Resource Usage

Displays a table indicating the number of the resource, an icon depicting its graphical representation, its name, and the percentage of the regions placed in the design (for example, if a region has 100 core cells and 50 of them are placed, then the resource usage is 50% for the core cells).

Click the Assignment button to display the Assign Instances to Region dialog box.
