Database Properties Dialog Box

To access: File > Database Properties

Use this dialog box to set information for the database.

The available contents differ depending on the type of database: FPGA (.fpc) or layout (.lpc).

To access the FPGA properties dialog box, click File > Database Properties, and click the appropriate page from the list. (You can change the active FPGA by double-clicking it from the Project Window.)
