I'm using Altera FPGAs exclusively, since the tools are an effort in
itself. I also find the handling of MaxPlus2 rather awful, Quartus2
is a bit better.
The functionality they provide is far beyond just a schematic editor.
They allow me have graphic modules ( forget the VHDL for now)

One reason to get the drawing in Protel and then export it to the Xilinx
tools is that the schematic editor of Xilinx is not, how shall I put it,
particularly convenient. I myself have done some designs in it while the
rest of the board was done in Protel. This got me out of my hum on more

I recently had a look into the subject of FPGA and Protel.
I was told the FPGA router is still taken from the manufacturer
(in your case XILINX).
Meaning you're just using Protel to draw the schematics and
send the netlist to the other tool doing the FPGA. These
tools from various manufacturers a
