I always put SoPC builder in a seperate folder.

.... Using the MegaWizard plug-in manager you can specify where you want it located.

In addition you have to manually add the SoPC folder to the library path:

in the assignments->setting->library.

edit:[By second thought - this is insufficient. You also need to add the .qip file generated in the SoPC folder to your projects list of files (right-click in file list tab), otherwise you will not get the timing constraints file. This is a subtle but important detail because it compiles nicely without .qip, but it risks to fail in timing. Same applies for any other "dislocated" MegaWizard IP's by the way

edit2:[By a third thought and some experiments - unfortunately this is not as simple as I wrote above. You need to add the file .qip and .sdc file(s). Otherwise QII does not find the .sdc files even though they are quoted inside .qip!.:mad:. With this in mind I am not sure if - after all - in general its ok to place other MegaWizard IP's in sub folders. I know FIR and FFT ip's clutter the design folder with a lot of generated files as well. Does anybody know about this?]

Very nice trick never the less. Thanks for that but good things should be used with care.
