Creating Hard Macros
Hi
Hard macros preserve every aspect of a design, from individual LUT configuration down to to the physical routing between components.
One can then instantiate this macro in a separate design, and expect that the entity is perfectly replicated on the hardware for each instantiation
Is it possible to create special reusable circuit blocks by Quartus tool ?
How can I do it ?

Hi Yishay,
I think you're looking for platform designer component editor and generic component to create custom ip reusable circuit blocks. Check links below for further details:
Component Editor: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683609/23-1/creating-ip-components-in-the-component.html
Generic Component: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683609/23-1/creating-generic-components-in-a-system.html
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Sheng

I think you're thinking about block-based design and reusing part of the post-fit netlist in other designs. Check this user guide: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683247.html
