Hi,

1. Do "File -> Convert Programming Files...", setup the conversion parameters the way you want and after that do "Save Conversion Setup..." to save them to a .cof file.

2. Save the next TCL script as "generate_jic_programming_file.tcl". Edit the script to replace "your_projectname_here.cof" with the name of the .cof file that you previously saved. 


set module 
 
if  {
 
 #  Include commands here that are run after the assember
      post_message "Running after assembler"
      set cmd "quartus_cpf -c your_projectname_here.cof"
 
     #  If the command can't be run, return an error.
      if {  } {
            return -code error $input
  }
}

3. Add this to the Quartus settings file (.qsf): 


set_global_assignment -name POST_MODULE_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:generate_jic_programming_file.tcl"

Now a .jic file will automatically be generated after assembly, no need to run scripts from the command line :)
