Importing XFL Files into the Layout Editor
For information on how to initially access the XFL import window (File > Import), see the introductory topic Importing Files into the Layout Editor. After you select a .xfl file the XFL import window opens initialized with the nets on the design to be imported.
- Import stackup and options allows you to import information from an xml control file or a layer mapping file into the window.
- Export control file creates an xml control file using the information imported to the window to the location specified. This file can either be imported and used through the window or used directly with Anstranslator.exe. Note that this can be used to read in an IPC Layer Stackup file and export a .xml file that can be used with an IPC2581a file.
Nets Pane
- Import check box specifies which nets to import.
- Setup Ports automatically creates ports on the nets to be imported when checked.
