Problem Title:
PPR 5.0: using XDE-EDITLCA colorblk command in guide file may cause
error 12205



Problem Description:



Solution 1:




PPR may issue the following error on an LCA file that was edited in XDE:

  PPR ERROR 12205:
    In the guide .LCA file, block BLOCKNAME could not be translated.  Please
    contact Xilinx support personnel.

This may occur if a ColorBlk command in the LCA file has no block to color.
For example, you may see the following in the LCA file:

  ColorBlk 2 <BLOCKNAME>  (or some other color number)

but there is no block in the design called <BLOCKNAME>.

It is not clear how the ColorBlk becomes disassociated, but the quick and
easy workaround is to comment out the line in the LCA file with a semicolon.
