From 7c34a6404aa6b5062ff7fed4b1c42aed3efd2ec1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matt Guthaus <mrg@ucsc.edu>
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2017 14:01:53 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Remove hierarchy that instantiates path and wire.
 Paths/wires are now added directly to a design. Removes a snap-to-grid bug
 when the instances are placed. Fixed add_wire/add_path in all uses.
