New ContributorIt's not SDC. Check the Assignment Editor and the .qsf file itself. You can safely remove those board trace model assignments.
Super Contributor.qip files get regenerated when you regenerate or update the IP. You should just be able to use the IP update manager (File or Project menu in Quartus, I forget which right now) to update the old IP to work with the new version. Usually when you open an old project in a newer version of the software, a yellow banner appears at the top of the project navigator to indicate that IP needs to be updated.
You shouldn't have to manually edit the .qip.
New ContributorThank you for replying.
I have updated all of the IP in the Upgrade Ip Components tab. I have no IPs listed as must upgrade.
I see that I have incorrectly identified where my error message is coming from. I am currently failing in the plan portion of the compilation flow of the project. My guess is the issue is in the sdc constraints file.
Most of my design experience has been in the Xilinx/Libero design platforms and I am guessing the issue would most likely be in the .sdc constraints file. I am unclear of where exactly my error could be. The constraints file is setup with an if statement rather than showing individual pin assignments. I am unsure of how this sdc file works in combination with the pin planner which shows the individual pin assignments.

If the error is not related to the sdc file I am unsure of what file the error messages are related to in the project.
