Subject: How To Keep Logic0 Cells From Being Put On Unconnected Scan Ports?

Hello John,

Since the scan chains in my design are inserted 'outside' Synopsys, I
have unconnected (scan out) ports in my design.  After a compile run, DC
connects these unconnected port to logic0.  These logic0 cells cause
problems in the rest of the design flow.  I can fix this with a simple
DC-script that removes these cells, but I was wondering if I can prevent
the inserting of the logic0's by with some variable or attribute???
