    Actually, you don't have to do a full compilation, just Analysis & Elaboration.

    But as mentioned, when you edit the .qsf manually and the design has not been compiled yet, when you use the wildcard, Quartus does not know about that object yet.

    If you were to use the GUI instead, you always have to perform at least Analysis & Elaboration first so signals and objects appear in the Pin Planner or the Assignment Editor. It's the same situation here.

Hi,

Sorry for confusion. I think there are some misunderstandings. After you make changes in .qsf file, you should see the settings loaded in Assignment Editor. However in order to make the settings appear in pin planner you have to do the compilation. Hopefully it helps answering your problem.

**Check the file below.

Best Regards,
