Problem Title:
men2xnf8/enwrite: Pin mapping from part interface to superseding
interface not possible



Problem Description:
Men2xnf8 fails with return code 1.ENWrite may fail during Men2XNF8 (return code
1) with the following error
(as seen in the men2xnf8.log file):

   //  ENWrite has detected an exception condition during processing --
   Printing Status Messages
   //  Warning: An instance in a model references part $PONY/express/part
   interface express which cannot have its pins mapped to the new
   superseding interface (from: DDMS/EDDM/EDDM General 18)
   //  Error: Pin mapping from part $PONY/express/part interface express to
   superseding interface is not possible because at least one pin cannot be
   found in the superseding interface (from: DDMS/EDDM/EDDM Connectivity
   10)


Solution 1:

This may be caused by a mismatch between a pin name on a symbol and what is
known as the "compiled pin name."

To correct this, go into PLD_DA and open the symbol for the named interface
in the error message.  Select Check -> With Defaults.  The Check Pin
section of the Check report may show something like this:

   WARNING:  Compiled pin name "D-DO-DO-DO" and PIN "D-D-DA-DA-DA" on P$2
   do not match.

Select the pin labelled "D-DO-DO-DO" then select Miscellaneous -> Change
Compiled Pin Name.  Type "D-D-DA-DA-DA" in the dialog box.  Check and save
the symbol, then rerun Men2XNF8.
