Problem Title:
M1.5 Floorplanner: Floorplan window does not show RLOCs


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

When a design is opened with M1.5 floorplanner, the Floorplan
window does not show RLOCs associated with a RLOC_ORIGIN.
These constraints are improperly applied.


Solution 1:

Follow these steps to resolve the ERROR:

1- Run the design through PAR or Place and Route.
2- Load the Placed and Routed NCD file with the NGD file into Floorplanner.
3- In the placement window select the RPM.

This will properly build and place the RPM for Floorplaning.


This will be resolved in a future software release.
