when you want to execute a tcl script file from the prompt, the command is source.

Great work! Thank you for showcasing this. Avnet's more advanced projects take advantage of Tcl scripting, so it is well worth the time to understand Vivado Tcl capabilities. If you want to see some of Avnet's examples, this blog by [mention:32aa7433dad848f0a654cd0e17200737:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] will share where to find Avnet's scripts on GitHub.

Nice. I worked out yesterday that the TCL console shows the actual commands being executed as you 'do stuff' in Vivado. Great idea to scriptify.
