Edit xn file

Post by beandigital »

Is there a way to edit an xn file rather than having to edit the code directly? I want to add some ports to the file but was wondering if there is a more user friendly way to do it.
Thanks

In xTimeComposer, there are two tabs at the bottom when you have the XN file open: Design and Source. Source is what I think you're referring to where you are writing the XML file directly.

The Design tab allows you to add things via right-click menus and gives you a slightly better user experience. But, you still have to know the specifics of the things you're adding, i.e., there is no explicit "Add Tile" or "Add Package" operation. You have to add a child element and specify everything.

Thanks for that. I thought it may be the case.
