6) For all other users: copy %ALSDIR%\lib\wv\migrate.lst to %WDIR%\standard\libs.lst (note file name change).
7) For all existing projects, go into the WVOffice Project Manager and re-specify the libraries, as the library search paths have changed.
8) When exporting Viewlogic information in ACTgen or when translating EDIF netlists to
Viewlogic wir files, you may see multiple warnings similar to the one below:
<<<WARNING>>> - Find symbol 'ACT3:AX1B' without using library alias
These warnings may be ignored.
9) If, while using ACTgen, you get the message:
Unable to open symbol template ACTGEN:sym/<symbol_name>.1
then you need to go into the WVOffice Project Manager to re-specify your libraries for the project.
10) See also any notes in Actel's Guru Automated Tech Support system, located at Actel's web site: www.actel.com. Select Guru, search for "third party" and then select "Viewlogic". Click on the exclamation point (!) for more information.
