bdf designs and connections between multiple bdfs

No, PD is a system design tool, where you add components (off-the-shelf IP or your own custom IP) and connect their interfaces together.
A PD system can be the top-level in a Quartus project or it can be instantiated lower down in the project hierarchy.
For connecting schematics, simply name the I/O pins the same between the different .bdf files in the same project. An easier thing to do, however, is to have a top-level schematic where you add the other schematics as blocks in the top-level schematic.

Hi sstrell,
This is the second time you’ve gotten me unstuck, and I very much appreciate your help.
One question about your reply: You refer to a “top-level schematic”. Is this done with Platform Designer, or is there another method?
Again, many thanks!
My best,
Bill
