Subject: Can I Prevent DC From Replacing The Original Cell Instance Names?

John,

In my design .db, I have cell names like "counter_reg(0)".  When I write out
the design to VHDL for gate level simulation, the instance name changes to
"counter_reg_0_label".

When I try to back annotate the SDF file from the traget vendor in my VHDL
simulator, I encounter errors because the SDF file used the original cell
name, "counter_reg(0)".

How do I prevent Synopsys from replacing the original cell names?
