Problem Title:
M! Design Manager: What command line options can be used to invoke the Design Manager ?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

A command line option exists to launch the Design Manager.


Solution 1:

The command line option for Design Manager is "-design".

To use this option to create a new project, you must provide
the top level netlist (with file extension) after the -design switch.

Ex: dsgnmgr -design <top_level>.edn OR
       xilinx -design <top_levle>.edn

To use this option to open an existing project, you must provide either
the top level netlist or the project name after the -design switch.

Ex: dsgnmgr -design <top_level>.edn OR dsgnmgr -design <project>.xpj


NOTE: Netlist extentions can vary depending on the front end tool being used.
Please verify that the netlist used is supported by the version of Xilinx
software being used.
