Nios IDE is obsolete and it was used up to Quartus version 9 or 10.

Newer Quartus versions only support the Nios SBT for Eclipse. Anyway you should have the same functionalities, although with a different graphical organization.

IIRC when I switched from Quartus 9 with IDE to Quartus 11 with Eclipse, it was not so a great problem.

Probably you only have to change the windows perspective or browse the menus for the command you need.
