Problem Title:
M1.5: Floorplanner: n2f command line looks for wrong FNF file


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: This is only an issue if the floorplanner is called from the Design Manager or N2F is run with the -g option.

Design Manager: When using the Set->Floorplan Files option in the DM, the designer has two options. 1- Choose from a list the ver->rev desired to use in the
Floorplanner as well as the flow. 2- Choose custom to specify the .mfp and .fnf.

Currently, the Floorplanner ignores the specified .fnf file location and loads the .fnf file in the current directory. This results in the Floorplanner Window not displaying the previously Floorplanned design.












Solution 1:

The way to resolve this open the Floorplanner. Select File -> New. Select the
appropriate .fnf, .ncd, and .ngd files. This will cause the Floorplanner to load the files correctly.

This has also been fixed in M1_5i.
