How are your designs captured? Are they written in VHDL or Verilog? If so, you can create a project in Quartus targeting your chosen device and add all your source files. Quartus will extract then hierarchy for you from the source files.

I have not tried Max+PLUS II before. Just wonder if it can convert your schematic design into .v or .vhd? If can, then you can add them to QII as Alex advice.

Quartus should be able to read Max+Plus 2 .gdf files. It should auto-convert them to .bdf.

Waiting for the corresponding PCB for further evaluation. Thanks to all valuable opinion. - Altera_Forum
