Storing of global parameter defaults and using them over two or more design projects

摘要

A system and method for graphically displaying global resources and their associated parameter values and apply the global resources across multiple design projects. The system and method also provide a graphical interface which displays the possible parameter values of an associated global resource. This graphical interface utilizes pop up menu to for viewing the possible parameter values and the selection of the current parameter value. The system and method also provide tracking and updating of the hardware resources which utilize the parameter values of the global resources. Further, the system also allows the storage of these parameters values of the global resources. By storing these parameter values of the global resources, these parameter values can be set as default global settings. These default global settings can be recalled and associated with different projects without manual entry of the parameter values.
