load project
load project <projectFile> [-not active] [-force]
This command loads a project file into ACE. Loading a project file does not load the design files, it just sets
up a project for later use.
Argument Required/Optional Description
<projectFile> Required The required <projectFile>
argument specifies the path to a
project file.
[-not active] Optional If this option is set, no impl in
the project will be activated and
the active impl in ACE will not
be changed.
[-force] Optional The -force option can be used to
override a project lock that has
been set by another ACE
session. Using -force causes the
current ACE session to take
ownership of the project lock for
the project being restored. You
should not use this option to run
multiple ACE sessions on the
same project, since output and
log file may get corrupted from
having 2 sessions writing to the
same files.
