Problem Title:
XC9500/XC7000: Translate warning 295: The LOC parameter 'LOC=FB1_16' on
the macro symbol $1I1 is not supported for XC7000 designs



Problem Description:
In a CPLD schematic design, Translate returns the following warning :

Warning 295:
The LOC parameter 'LOC=FB1_16' on the macro symbol $1I1 is not
supported for XC7000/XC9000 designs.

This happens if $1I1 is not a primitive symbol.

With the XEPLD v6.0 tools, some components can be mapped to a
specific function block and macrocell using the following
schematic attribute syntax:

LOC=FB<n>_<m>

where <n> is the function block number and <m> is the
macrocell number.

However, the LOC attribute may _only_ be placed on Primitives.


Solution 1:

The following is a list of the primitives which may have a
LOC attribute placed on them:

AND*	  NAND*
OR*	  NOR*
XOR2	  XNOR2
XOR3	  XNOR3
XOR4	  XNOR4
INV	  BUF
BUFT	  FDCP
FBMC	  FFBMC
