    PlanAhead Features

    There is an overall effort to migrate Xilinx customers to the PlanAheadsoftware PlanAhead has a number of features that many customer like

    Design Analysis (many useful features such as a schematic viewer, Floorplanning (only through PlanAhead) Timing Reporting and Design Analysis are tightly integrated

    Schematic Viewer Hierarchy Viewer Slack Histogram

    New Project Wizard Constraint Entry I/O Pin Planning (only through PlanAhead) Design Rule Checking Launch Multiple Runs

    Project Navigator Review Demo

    ISE New Project command ISE defaults to opening previous project Tip of the Day File > New Project

    Select project name, FPGA device, HDL language, synthesis tool,and simulator

    Add sources, create new sources Optimized for FPGA flow

    Now, lets go to the ISE software
