Problem Title:

2.1i: FPGA Editor: Path constraint functionality is not supported.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Adding the Path constraints function is greyed out of FPGA
Editor. How to add the Path constraint?


Solution 1:

Edit the PCF file directly.

The FPGA_Editor is suppose to be able to add path constraints
directly to the PCF.

The PCF syntax is as follows:
PATH "path_name"= FROM group_item THRU group_item1...
group_itemn TO group_item;
PATH "path_name" MAXDELAY=path_value;

This will be fixed in a future release of the software.
