CONCEPT2XIL Error #169: Port modes are not the same. The entity

General Description:

<OUTPUT> "Error #169: Port modes are not the same. The entity
declaration needs to be updated"
</OUTPUT>

You may see an error like this if the ports in the ENTITY

Solution 1:

Bring up the symbol body in question in Concept and rewrite
(re-save) it.  Doing this will ensure that the entity
corresponding to the symbol body will be regenerated based on
the current version of the symbol drawing:

   edit foo.body
   write
