Hi, Daves, thanks very much for reply. I checked the links you give. I think the basic process as following:

1. Have the design project in Quartus II (e.g. program using HDL)

2. Create a Tcl script file and program Tcl inside the file (e.g. set pins, compile the project, do static timing simulation)

3. Run the tcl script file using Tcl console inside Quartus II.

right? And for now, as my understanding, we use Tcl in Quartus is for operating Quartus (pin assignments, project compile, static timing analysis.....), not for design, right?

Thanks!
