Problem Title:
PPR 5.0: using XDE-EDITLCA colorblk command in guide file may cause error 12205


Problem Description:




Solution 1:




PPR may issue the following error on an LCA file that was edited in XDE:

   PPR ERROR 12205:
     In the guide .LCA file, block BLOCKNAME could not be translated. Please
     contact Xilinx support personnel.

This may occur if a ColorBlk command in the LCA file has no block to color.
For example, you may see the following in the LCA file:

   ColorBlk 2 <BLOCKNAME> (or some other color number)

but there is no block in the design called <BLOCKNAME>.

It is not clear how the ColorBlk becomes disassociated, but the quick and
easy workaround is to comment out the line in the LCA file with a semicolon.
