The placement of devices is defined in the AIF file, need to pass this information on to Xpedition so devices don't have to be placed manually.

Longer term the API will be used to pass placement information to Xpedition. In the short term, an XY placement file can be exported. This file can be loaded into Xpedition using the key-in command pr -file=filename. If the file is named xyplace.dat and resides in the design's Config directory, it can be loaded with the pr -file key-in command, the name and path can be ignored.

The XY placement file can be exported from the File->Export Placement ... menu.
