  1. Update the plan with existing assignments, as Step 3: Update Plan with Project Assignments describes.
  2. In Tile Interface Planner, click the Plan tab. Tile Interface Planner displays the Design Element hierarchy, alongside a graphical representation of the tile chip or package view.

    • In the Design Element list, right-click the tile interface IP that you want to place, and then click Generate Legal Locations for Selected Element.
      Note: You can select multiple IP targeting the same tile to generate legal locations for all IP at once.
    • Click the button next to the Design Element to display a list of Legal Locations.
