    I used encounter to do place and route. My design contained 4
    instances, and when it is imported into encounter, it was 4, but it
    was 2 when I did the place-> standard cells and blocks. There were 2
    warnings:

    WARNING: SOCSP-2020: cannot find a legal location for instance I0.

    WARNING: SOCSP-2020: cannot find a legal location for instance I3.

    It then asked me to check the design and floorplan.

    The cell's orgin is (0,0), and when I specified the floorplan, the
    design browse window still showed 4 instances.

    Why did it say "cannot find a legal location"? Athough I tried the
    "legalize floorplan", no change happened. How can I solve this
    problem?

    Thanks in advance!
