control library name in QIP file

Hi,

I see this line of tcl command in my core.qip file. If I understood it correctly, core.qip has been generated when I click "Generate" in Qsys. 

set_global_assignment -library "core" -name VHDL_FILE

My question is: how can I control the library name? In the tcl command above, library has been set to "core". What should I do if I want to specify the library name?

I am using Quartus II 13.0 Sp1.

Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this out? I would like to change the library name for my QSys generated files.

    My experience with .qip files is that if you create .qip files for your own IP, then you can control the library name. If Qsys auto-generates the library name, then unfortunately it names the library after the first instance name. I made these comments in this thread/document:

    Perhaps file a Service Request with Altera and ask them for their advice?

    Cheers,
