Importing ANFV4 Design Data

To open an ANFV4-based project, on the File menu, select Import > ANF to open an explorer window.
click the Look in field to locate the directory containing the file with the project you want to open. Click the Files of type field to display the files with the ANF format.
Click ANF format file in the window to select it, or type its name into the File name field.
Click OK. The ANF Conversions window opens:
The Current ANF (Components) Map group boxes list the components on the ANF file and any associated models. You can enter the names of a model manually in the Property Name field. The ModelName property for the component are set to the entry in the Model Name field in the mapping, and the Netlist property begins with that name instead of the component name.
Update External Component Map saves any mappings you enter manually to a text file. Click Save Map File to open a File explorer window. Use the window to browse to the directory where the map file is to reside, then enter the name of the file. The map file is saved with a .mapping extension. The same mapping file should be used for both component and property mappings. After the mapping file has been created, Update External Component Map saves any mappings you enter manually.
The Current ANF (Property) Map group boxes list the mapping of properties in the ANF file to the properties that are used when the file is imported. You can enter the mapped name of a property manually in the Model Name field. The name for the property are set to the entry in the netlist.
Update External Property Map saves any mappings you enter manually to a text file. Click Save Map File to open a File explorer window. Use the window to browse to the directory where the map file is to reside, then enter the name of the file. The map file is saved with a .mapping extension. After the mapping file has been created, Update External Component Map saves any mappings you enter manually.
Load Map File opens an explorer window. Browse to the directory where the map file resides, then select or enter the name of the file. The map file can contain component and/or property mappings, and must have a .mapping extension. The same mapping file should be used for both component and property mappings.
The External Component Map area lists the components that have been read from an external mapping file. The display changes each time the external file is updated on the window.
The External Property Map area lists the properties that have been read in from an external mapping file. The display changes each time the external file is updated from the window.
The Distributed Components area allows you to specify that imported interconnects are converted to distributed components if they fall within a minimum coupling distance (specify distance), and select the nets that are thus converted. The Planar EM tool analyzes the geometry intact.
Click Close. The Planar EM Layout Editor shows the design, and the projects window shows the imported project.
