Problem Title:
M1.5i/2.1i: NGDBUILD: invalid NCF/UCF file entry value "~" detected on line ##.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General description:
If a signal name is using a character other than A to Z,
a to z, or 0 to 9; ngdbuild will give the above parsing error
if the signal is constraint in UCF.


Solution 1:

Put the signal name between two double quotes, e.g.:
NET "~netname" TNM = tnmname;

Ngdbuild will let the netname between double quotes pass
the error checking above.
