An ASCII text file (with the extension .xml) that is based on the PartMiner proprietary XML-based format. It is generated by the Quartus^® II software and is used for symbol generation with other EDA board-level simulation tools.

You can direct the Compiler to generate a PartMiner edaXML-Format File after successful compilation by selecting Symbol Generation (Viewdraw) in the Board-level tool list in the EDA Tool Settings page of the Settings dialog box (Assignments menu). The Compiler places the generated PartMiner edaXML-Format File in the /<project directory>/symbols/viewdraw directory.

The file name of the PartMiner edaXML-Format File is the top-level design entity name with an .xml extension.
