Hello,

I understand from the manual, that PrimeTime support should be available with TimeQuest:

--- Quote Start ---

The Quartus II software uses the EDA Netlist Writer to generate PrimeTime files based on either the Quartus II Classic Timing Analyzer or the Quartus II TimeQuest Timing Analyzer static timing analysis results.

--- Quote End ---

There is no remark on special setting necessary or other restrictions, e. g. with Stratix II, the setting is working. But there seems to be bug as you say: No PrimeTime support with Stratix and TimeQuest. Altera support should know.

Regards,

Frank
