2.1i FPGA Editor : "Warning : FPGAEditor 140 - Nothing found to delete" message when attempting to delete a placed IOB



Problem Description:
Urgency : Standard

General Description :
When selecting a placed IOB and pressing the Delete
button, FPGA Editor may issue a message which reads
"Warning : FPGAEditor 140 - Nothing found to delete".
It may be useful to delete IOBs in this manner when
removing test probes from a design.


Solution 1:

In order to delete the placed IOB, the placement
property of the component will need to be changed
from "hard" to "none". This can be done by:

1. Select the IOB
2. Go to Edit -> Properties of selected items
3. On the Physical Constraints tab, change the
      Requirement box from "hard" to "none"
4. Click Apply and then Close
5. With the IOB still selected, hit the Delete button

Note : You must be in Read Write mode to make
these changes
