Hi John, Please keep me anon.
Obviously this user had a very good experience with the Floorplan Manager
but the original question asked was:
>For example, does it really do something that I can't do myself by tweaking
>the constaints and process by which I use the dc_shell?

I'm always left wondering if there's anything else I could do in Design
Compiler... Any comments?
