To convert a PlanAhead tool project to a Vivado IDE project, open the PlanAhead project file (PPR extension) in the Vivado IDE. When prompted, type in a new project name and location for the converted project.

The project conversion effects the following changes:

Targets the Vivado Design Suite default 7 series device on projects with pre-7 series devices.

Resets all runs. They are generated after implementing the design in the tool.

Replaces run strategies with Vivado Design Suite default strategies.

Moves UCF files to an Unsupported Constraints Folder because UCF constraints are not supported.

Note: Conversion of designs with Partitions is not supported.

Note: Zynq ® -7000 SoC processor designs using XPS are not supported.

IMPORTANT: The Vivado IP integrator is the replacement for Xilinx Platform Studio (XPS) for new embedded processor designs, including designs targeting Zynq devices and MicroBlaze™ processors. XPS is no longer integrated with the Vivado Design Suite. However, DCP and NGC files created without constraints in XPS are supported as source files in the Vivado Design Suite.
