Problem Title:
Design Manager/Flow Engine 6.0.1: A guide file specified in the Advanced menu may not be
used/implemented
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
In the XACT 6.0.1 Design Manager, you have the ability to specify the use
of a guide file (*.LCA File) from two separate dialog boxes. If you happen
to specify the use of a guide file from the Setup->Advanced menu within the
Flow Engine, then go back to the Options dialog (Setup->Options), you will
most likely notice that your guide file was not implemented.
This scenario can occur is you go back into the Options dialog box
AFTER already having specifed the use of a guide file under the
Advanced menu. The reason for this is that the Options dialog also
contains a field for specifying a guide file, and by default this is
set to "None". The Flow Engine, because it remembers this as the last
dialog entered, sets a value of NONE for the Guide file field (thus
overwriting the value set previously in the Advanced menu).
Solution 1:
If you need to specify a *.LCA file as a guide in the Advanced menu, be sure
to do this last, after having already set options in the Options menu. You
can verify Flow Engine is using the proper guide file by observing the status
bar at the bottom of the Flow Engine. It should have a line stating "Guide:File".
