1.5 4KXL PAR- PAR will not utilize "lone" OFFSET constraints


Record #4194

Product Line: FPGA Implementation

Product Part: par

Problem Title:

1.5 4KXL PAR- PAR will not utilize "lone" OFFSET constraints


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: If the only constraints in a .ucf or .pcf are "TIMEGRP OFFSET" (no PERIOD, FROM
  TO, etc...) PAR doesn't invoke timing-driven operation. If the .ucf or .pcf contains a PERIOD, FRO
M TO, etc... the OFFSETs are then reported at the timing summary given at the end of the PAR job. TR CE always reports correctly, so this behavior seems to be unique to PAR.


Solution 1:

This is only related to PAR. TRCE works correctly.

This problem was fixed in the 1.5i release.
