Product Family: Software

Product Line: Aldec

Product Part: Foundation Project Manager

Product Version: 1.5

Problem Title:
F1.5/F1.5i Project Manager: Checking Implementation reports gives "Template Engine" error box.



Problem Description:
Urgency : Standard

General Description:

The user is not able to look at the implementation
reports generated from F1.5.

1) From the Foundation Project Manager (PCM) the user
    selects the "Reports" tab.
2) Then the user double clicks on "Implementation
    Reports File"
3) The Xilinx Report Browser window comes up with the
    available reports but, if the user double clicks
    on any of the reports for viewing, a windows
    error box pops up.

The box says, "Template Engine" at the top. The
body of the window contains a yellow triangle with
an exclamation point and an "OK" button. There are
no message about the error.

The Implementation Log File and other log files in
PCM report section open correctly.


Solution 1:

This error can be caused by having an unknown editor
as the default editor in Design Manager.

Open Design Manager by selecting START -> Programs ->
<Xilinx Foundation Series> -> Accessories -> Design
Manager.

Select File -> Preferences

Browse to find a preferred editor to place in the
"Editor for viewing files:" dialog box.

NOTE: There is also Text Editor selection available in
       PCM under File -> Preferences -> Configuration.
       This selection has no effect on the "Template
       Engine" error.
