Specifying where the Footprint Report is Checked In
By default the footprint report is checked into Dimensions in the original project, which may cause the footprint to be deployed. If you do not want to deploy the footprint, use a different project to collect the footprint reports. The filename generated is globally unique so one project can collect footprint reports for all builds.
Use the variable DM_FOOTPRINT_CHECKIN_PROJECT in dm.cfg to specify where the footprint is checked in, where:
*CURRENT: checks the footprint into the current project.
*NONE: checks the footprint into $GENERIC.
Default value: the variable contains the name of the project in the format PRODUCT:PROJECT.
