Problem Title:
F1.5/F1.5i Library Manager: When attaching a library to another project, unexpanded block errors occur in Implementation Tools



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

When attaching a project library to another project, you may encounter
Unexpanded block errors in the Implementation Tools when using
HDL macros from the attached library.


Solution 1:

This is because the underlying netlists for the macros are not copied to
the new project when the library is used. To correct the problem you
may either re-synthesize the macro in the new project, or manually
copy the XNF or EDIF file for the HDL macro into the new project.
