Search View
The Search view provides an interface for searching the ACE design database for design objects (instances,
nets, ports, pins, sites, and paths), displaying the results of a search in a list, organized by object type.
Optionally, all or part of the results of a search can be added to the current selection, displayed in the
Selection view. The Search View is a graphical interface to the Tcl command find.
Instances and Ports in the results list may be dragged and dropped onto the Floorplanner view to assign
placement or add placement region constraints (the behavior depends upon the Floorplanner’s active
tool/mode). Ports may also be dragged and dropped onto the Package view to assign placement. Instances
and Paths in the results list may be dragged to the Placement Regions view to add placement region
constraints.
By default, the Search view is included in the Floorplanner perspective. To add it to the current perspective,
select Window → Show View → Search.

Note:
A maximum of 200 objects are displayed in the Search view at a time. Use the
arrow buttons ( and ) on the view’s toolbar to page through the full set of
search results.
