How to handle rtl-instantiated low power cells?

TriStated

While using IEEE1801 standard for power intent in synthesis with RTL compiler, how does one handle the RTL - instantiated low power cells? The tool is not honoring the hand instantiated cells and is inserting low power cells again. 

Thanks in advance.

    You will need to run the command clock_gating import for the tool to recognize them if you do not want fine-gating. Keep in mind that depending on toggle of signals, there is a purpose to multi-level gating so you may or may not want it depending on design needs and behavior
