Xilinx ISE v14.1 and Altera QuartusII v11.1 and v12.0 are now supported. Re-annotate now also uses the component bounding rectangle (without designator), where it previously used the bounding rectangle that included the designator, which could result in undesirable annotation results.Īuto-zooming in Cross Select Mode has been enabled, with three options available:

Another new option is a user-definable location tolerance (Comparison Threshold), which allows components that are slightly out of line to still be annotated in a logical manner. Re-annotate has been improved and now includes options for what to re-annotate (top & bottom, top only, bottom only, selected), and optionally allows for the protection of component with locked designators.
