Changes to the Workbench ImportApp Utility
In addition to proprietary OpenROAD export files (.exp), the ImportApp utility can now import applications previously exported to XML.
Note: Importing components is now handled by the ImportComp utility. For more information, see “Import an Individual Component” in the Workbench User Guide.
The Import an Application dialog now has a new drop-down menu, Input File Format:
Input File Format specifies the format of the application file to be imported:
EXP
Specifies OpenROAD proprietary ASCII format
XML (-xml)
Specifies XML format
Any
Allows OpenROAD to determine the format of the application file. OpenROAD first tries to import using its proprietary format; if this fails, it imports using XML format.
For more information about the ImportApp utility, see “Import an Application” in the Workbench User Guide.
