Problem Title:
FLOORPLANNER v6.0/5.2: Warning 12926 : constraints file read that
contains wildcards.



Problem Description:
PLATFORM: All

PROBLEM:
Warning message is issued and constraint is ignored.


Solution 1:




CAUSE:
The Floorplanner does not support wild cards in the constraints file.

If your .cst has the following line:

	place instance li*pd7: p111;


The following message will occur:

***  FPLAN: WARNING 12926:
	Symbol li*pd7 in constaint file was not found

SOLUTION:
All wildcards in the constraint file should be expanded out into individual
location constraints.
