Although this tutorial uses the Mentor Graphics Design Manager and the Xilinx Design Manager to process the Calc design, you can also manually run the individual programs that these graphical tools run.
This section details command sequences that you can use to perform the translations the Xilinx Design Manager performs in this tutorial. The commands are written as you would type them at the system prompt or in a batch file. You may also see a summary of these system commands by using the Utilities 
Command History and Utilities Command Preview selections in Design Manager or Flow Engine. Once you are in the Command History or Command Preview dialog box, select the display Mode to Command Line to see the detailed system commands, including command-line options, used by Flow Engine. You can cut and paste from these Command dialog boxes into your text editor to create batch files.
The commands listed here are slightly different from the commands in the Command History and Command Preview windows. The commands listed here show how you would typically execute the Xilinx programs from the system prompt, outside of the Xilinx Design Manager framework. The commands listed in the Command History and Command Preview windows reflect how Flow Engine executes Xilinx programs to fit into the Xilinx Design Manager framework.
