Problem Title:
M1.3/M1.4 Design Manager/NGDBUILD: DC2NCF is not invoked automatically
for .sedif and .sxnf files



Problem Description:
Keywords:  NGDBUILD, M1, DC, DC2NCF

Urgency:  Standard

General Description:

Synopsys-generated files .sedif and .sxnf may be accompanied by a .dc file
which contains Synopsys constraints.  NGDBUILD does not automatically run
this tool.


Solution 1:

Whenever a Synopsys design is synthesized or a new .dc file has been
generated, be sure to run:

   dc2ncf <design>.dc -o <design>.ncd

to make sure your constraints are read into the implementation flow.
