Problem Title:

1.5i. MAP - Map may crash on designs with modules containing OPTIMIZE attributes.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
F1.5i schematic top level design with logiblox and other modules.
At map you can get Dr Watson error in win NT4.0 or core dump in solaris machine.

The reason in one case was that map was not able to handle OPTIMIZE property
for one of the modules.



Solution 1:

A fix for this problem will be included in version 2.1 due to ship in June 1999.



Solution 2:

A work-around here is to remove the "OPTIMIZE" property from the offending block .

To remove the "OPTIMIZE" property, open the <blockname>.edn file(s) with a text editor and search fo
r the text "OPTIMIZE". Then delete the whole line and rerun ngdbuild on the top level design to upda te all ngo files. Then rerun map again.
