If you prefer to work directly with Tcl, you can interact with your design using Tcl commands using either of the following methods:
- Enter individual Tcl commands in the Vivado Design Suite Tcl shell outside of the Vivado IDE.
- Enter individual Tcl commands in the Tcl Console at the bottom of the Vivado IDE.
- Run Tcl scripts from the Vivado Design Suite Tcl shell.
- Run Tcl scripts from the Vivado IDE.
For more information about using Tcl and Tcl scripting, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using Tcl Scripting (UG894). For a step-by-step tutorial that shows how to use Tcl in the Vivado tools, see the Vivado Design Suite Tutorial: Design Flows Overview (UG888).
