Problem Title:

2.1i: FPGA Editor - Macros cannot be deleted once they have been added to a design


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
Once a macro has been added to a design in FPGA Editor,
it can not deleted.


Solution 1:

Another workaround is to unbind the macro and delete the
comps and nets manually in the editor.



Solution 2:

Workaround:
    + Use "xdl -ncd2xdl design.ncd" to dump the NCD design file
       to an ASCII XDL file (design.xdl)
    + Remove the comps and nets manually from the ASCII XDL file
    + Use "xdl -xdl2ncd design.xdl new.ncd" to recreate the ncd file

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