John,
The issues raised here - that either the router or verification tool are
unable to handle EEQ pins, is rubbish. Those issues mentioned in this
thread about custom layout not matching the switch-level netlist: those
blocks are often black-boxed and DRC'd separately.
Handling electrical equivalence is a basic capability for both Apollo and
Hercules. Obviously, these aren't Avant! customers. If they were in
Milkyway, these issues would not exist.
