Description
Write the current open block design in the Vivado IP integrator to the specified file format.
This command lets you print the block design, output it as a vector graphic file for use in documentation related to the design project, or recreate the block design layout in the Vivado IP integrator design canvas using the regenerate_bd_layout
command.
This command returns the name of the file written, or returns an error if it fails.
