write_sdc still works like it used to if you use "write_sdc -expand".

From the on-line help for write_sdc:

Generates an SDC file with all current constraints and exceptions. When you use the -expand option, derive_clocks, derive_pll_clocks, derive_lvds_clocks and derive_clock_uncertainty macros are be expanded to corresponding sdc assignments before they are written to a file. If you do not use the -expand option, these macros are preserved.
