Multiple Gates in Symbol Creation Wizard

You can now use the SCM Symbol Block Wizard to allocate pins to more than one gates.

When reading a Aldec .csv file via Read From File option in SCM Symbol Creation Wizard, gates will be automatically generated based on using the swap group value.  If all the pins do not contain swap group value, then the Bank I/O value is used.

A multi-gate file is used to translate the relationship between gates and pins in a group of symbols created via the SCM Symbol Block Wizard.

The Multi-gate file then used to define the part definition in the Library Editor, via Actions->Import FPGA/Multi-gate menu option, choosing the CSV (Multi Gate Data) file type.

The Multi-gate file is used to define the Pin Terminal assignments, based on the pin allocations made in the SCM Symbol Block Wizard stage.

In addition , for Aldec/CADSTAR flow, the data of the pins are read from the Aldec .csv file during Read From File operation, and stored in the Multi-gate file, therefore only the Multi-gate file is required to import both the Aldec .csv data and gate/pin relationship in Library Editor.
