Tcl Commands for General Usage

delete (delete a partition)

The partition delete command deletes the specified partition from the current ISE project. This command also deletes any properties on the partition; however, timing and other logic constraints on the instance are preserved.

Note: A Partition name may not be unique to the project. In this case, the full hierarchical name of the partition should be specified for the partition you wish to delete.

% partition delete <partition_name>

partition is the name of the Xilinx Tcl command.

delete is the name of the partition subcommand.

partition_name specifies the full hierarchical name of the partition you wish to remove from the project or the name of the

Example:	% partition delete /stopwatch/Inst_dcm1

Description:	In this example, the Inst_dcm1 partition is deleted and removed
	from the project repository. Note that only the partition is deleted
	from the project not the instance that the partition is set on.

Tcl Return:

The number of partitions deleted. In this example, 1 is returned.

get (get partition properties)

The partition get command returns the value of the specified partition property. Note that the preserve property is assigned with the partition set command.

%partition get <partition_name> <property_name>

partition is the name of the Xilinx Tcl command.

get is the name of the partition subcommand.

partition_name specifies the full hierarchical name of the partition or the collection. A collection is specified using the dollar-sign syntax ($) with the name of the collection variable.

property_name specifies the name of the property you wish to get the value of. Valid partition property names and their Tcl returns are shown in the following table:

Table 3-3:Partition Property Names and Tcl Returns

Partition Property Name	Tcl Return

name	The name of the partition.

parent	The name of the parent of the partition. If the partition
	is the top-level partition, the returned name is empty.

children	A collection of the child partitions. If the partition has
	no children, the returned collection is empty.

preserve	Routing, placement, synthesis, or inherit

preserve_effective	Returns the inherited value for the preserve property.
