Foundation F1.5: Foundation HDL tabs do not allow local menu options to save Express messages


Record #4967

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Synopsys

Product Part: Foundation Express API

Problem Title:
Foundation F1.5: Foundation HDL tabs do not allow local menu options to save Express messages



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
In the standalone version of Express, a local menu is available to save the
information printed in any of the three tabs (errors, warnings, messages) at
the lower part of the window. This local menu allows you to Copy the data,
save the data for that tab to a text file, or save the data from all the tabs
to a text file. Information presented here is not available in the synthesis
reports generated by Express.

This copy/save function is not available in the Foundation Project Manager.


Solution 1:

To access these commands, you must open the standalone FGPA Express GUI. The
Express project file (.EXP) can be found below the project directory, in a
directory of the same name as the project. For example, the VHDL version of
the Watch tutorial can be found in C:\fndtn\active\projects\watchvhd. The
Express project file is found in C:\fndtn\active\projects\watchvhd\watchvhd.

Either double click on the .EXP file, or open the standalone Express GUI via
Start > Programs > Xilinx Foundation Series > Accessories > Foundation Express
and then select File > Open Project and select that .EXP file.

Use the right mouse button within any of the three tabs at the bottom of the
GUI to Copy or Save report data.
