Hello,

This command:

quartus_cdb --64bit <qpf_name> -c <qsf_name> --back_annotate=routing

Will produce <qsf_name>.rcf , which contains design routing. It'll also add low-level placement to your <qsf_name>. So back it up before running this command.

@Rysc

I disagree that it's only for academic purposes. I actually use placement and routing information to improve performance of my designs.

Thanks,

Evgeni
