Design Architect software generates the following files for each schematic:
- <drawing name>/mgc_component.attr
- <drawing name>/part.Eddm_part.attr
- <drawing name>/part.part_1
- <drawing name>/schematic.mgc_schematic.attr
- <drawing name>/schematic/schem_id
- <drawing name>/schematic/sheet1.mgc_sheet.attr
- <drawing name>/schematic/sheet1.sgfx_1
- <drawing name>/schematic/sheet1.ssht_1
The files generated for each schematic are stored in the schematic's <drawing name> directory and should not be edited. Mentor Graphics software automatically manages file storage and retrieval operations through this <drawing name> directory structure, which does not reflect hierarchical design relationships. Figure 1 shows a sample file structure with project1 as the UNIX project directory, and design1, subdesign1, and subdesign2 as the directories for the top-level design and subdesigns of the project.
Figure 1. Design Architect Project File Structure
When the ENWrite utility converts the schematic into an EDIF netlist file, it processes the design information and all related file subdirectories, then creates the EDIF netlist file in the directory defined by the user. The EDIF netlist file is named <project name>.edf, where <project name> is the name of the top-level design file. The <project name>.edf file is automatically moved to the max2 directory under the project directory.
