Edit IP Catalog IP and saving to different name

Is there a way to edit an existing IP Catalog IP item, change it, and then save it off as a different named IP item? I am using Quartus Lite 20.1.1. Thanks, Bill

    I tried the steps that you suggested on a different machine with both Quartus 18.1 and 19.1 Lite. Except for the last step as I don't know where ".altera.quartus." is to be able to delete it and hence, I was not able to do this last step.

    This problem does not depend on any specific project. All I have to do is open up any version of Quartus that I have, 18.1, 19.1, 20.1, or 20.1.1 and then click on the "tools" menu and then click on the "IP Catalog" menu and nothing happens.

    If something like the old "MegaWizard" is suppose to come up after clicking on the "IP Catalog" menu item, it absolutely does not happen in any of the versions of Quartus that I have mentioned above on both of my Windows 10 computers.

    thanks for your continued assistance in trying to solve this problem,

    Bill

      Are you saying that you cannot make the IP Catalog appear in Quartus (within the tool itself; not necessarily popped out)? By default it appears in the upper right-hand corner of the tool. Or are you still referring to seeing the IP Parameter Editor vs. the old Megawizard?

        Yes, the IP Catalog appears in Quartus as you say. However, the ONLY thing that it allows me to do is to create a new IP. I can not edit an existing IP and save it off with a new name. As I said in my last post, when I click on the tools menu and then on the "IP Catalog" item in the drop down box, NOTHING HAPPENS, THERE IS NO RESPONSE.

        This same thing happens with all of the recent versions of Quartus that I have used. It is not project dependent in any manner. It happens no matter if a project is open or not.

        All I am really trying to do is to find a way to edit an existing IP that was previously created in the IP Catalog and save it off with a new name without having to recreate it all from scratch.

        Is this possible or not????
