Honored ContributorState A => State B multicycle path?
Is there a way to tell TimeQuest that all signals launched by State A and captured by State B are part of a multi-cycle path? My combinational path delay is too large so i'm adding a timer to delay m...

Honored ContributorThe time a FF takes to resolve from meta-stability is not constant. Even for a modern device, there's a tiny but non-zero probability that it's long.
But anyway, the problem is that you're saying one thing and writing code for another. set_multicycle_path -setup -end -from [Launch_FF] -to [Latch_FF] 2 set_multicycle_path -hold -end -from [Launch_FF] -to [Latch_FF] 1 ^^ This should be used when the output of Launch_FF is not used by Latch_FF until 2 clocks later. On the other hand, you keep writing about the output of Latch_FF not being used for until 2 clocks later... You need to be sure about what you're constraining.
