How to create a hard macro

Hi all I need to turn my design into a hard macro. I could not figure out how to create a hard macro in Quartus ii. Could you please help me?

my design consists of several similar components. I need to have exactly the same routing for all of the components.

What I want to do is to make one of the components as a hard macro, and then copy the hard macro to make the other components. (So, the components are not placed in the same locations but they have the same routing)

I have reviewed the documnet

"quartus ii incremental compilation for hierarchical and team-based design"

. I am not sure if I should follow hard-wired macros (page 37) or logiclock regions (page 45) or something esle?
