How to execute sdc command before starting compilation in order to check syntax?

Hi,

I don't usually use tcl console on Quartus GUI, instead you can try using tcl console on Timing Analyzer GUI and use the help option.

For example you want to check for create_clock syntax, just enter "create_clock -help" and it will show how to use the correct syntax.

Unfortunately I don't think you can check if your sdc command in particular is correct if you have added all the clock names and targets etc. (if this was what you were trying to do) because you don't have the timing netlist so it will always say that it cannot find those targets.
