M1.5: NET PERIOD constraints are incorrectly interpreted by the Constraint Editor


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: If a .ngd or .ucf file contain a period constraint written using the following syntax they are not picked up by the Constraint Editor.

NET CLK PERIOD = 30 ns;

Use the following syntax to resolve this issue:

NET "CLK" TNM_NET = "CLK"
