General Description:
CADENCE CONCEPT:  How to attach multiple LOC constraints /
properties / attributes to XBLOX components


Solution 1:

In the XNF file that you input to XBLOX, properties attached to XBLOX modules ne
ed
to have an "=" sign prepended in front of them, otherwise XBLOX ignores them.

	For example:

	SYM, symbolname, INPUTS ,DEF=BLOX, =ENCODING=UBIN, 	
	=BOUNDS=2:0,=LOC[0]=P6, =LOC[1]=P5, =LOC[2]=P4
	 =LOC[2]=p4, =LOC[1]=p5


To implement this in a Concept schematic, you need to specify a property name of

"LOCS".  The value of the property is then the list of location constraints.  Ea
ch of these
LOC[i] constraints must have an "=" sign in front of it:

	Example:

	property name		property value
	-------------		--------------
 	LOCS   			=LOC[2]=p4, =LOC[1]=p5, =LOC[0]=p6
