Subject: Dc_shell Does Verilog & VHDL Yet Fails To Output EDIF

Hi, John,

I've been trying to generate an EDIF netlist from the Synopsys' design
compiler.  But there seems to be something missing, as a result of which I'm
getting a "write failed" when I try to generate edif netlist.  Verilog or
VHDL netlists come out fine for the same design.  A sample session:

  dc_shell> write -format vhdl -output syn_out
     Information: Writing synthetic library implementations for design
     'process1'.  Use "write -no_implicit" to get just the design. (UID-172)
  1

  dc_shell> write -format edif -output syn_out
     Information: Writing synthetic library implementations for design
     'process1'.  Use "write -no_implicit" to get just the design. (UID-172)
   Warning: Some designs have no schematic. (EDFO-1)
   Designs without schematics: process1_DW01_add_32_1 process1_DW01_add_32_0
     process1

   Nothing done.
   Error: Write command failed. (UID-25)
  0

What's going on here and what is it's workaround?
