Description

Selects the specified object in the appropriate open views in the GUI mode. This command is for display purposes only. You must use the get_selected_objects command to return the selected objects for use in other commands.

The select_objects command may select secondary objects in addition to the primary object specified. The selection of secondary objects is controlled through the use of Selection Rules defined in the Tools > Settings command. Refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using the IDE (UG893) for more information on Setting Selection Rules.

Selected objects can be unselected with the unselect_objects command.
