I'm curious as to why you would want to do this i.e. creating a script in the first place requires effort and is not automatic in itself so why not simply place the pins in the bdf?

One of my favorite things is in a .bdf right-click on a symbol and Generate Pins for Symbol(or something like that). If I'm creating a test design with 2-3 components, it's often quicker to visualize the connections(especially a test you're showing to others) and I find this a great way to add them.

Hi de-em,
script editing is much faster than GUI interaction when you have a lot of entities with similar names. Massimo - Altera_Forum

This is an idea, I can generate a dummy vhdl for the port definition, istantiate the related symbol in the Top bdf then right-click and "Generated pins for Symbol"
A little bit tricky but it should work. Thanks Rysc.
