importing pin assignments

Maybe I missed a *.csv import option, I'm always importing pin assignments as tcl commands like

set_location_assignment PIN_M20 -to LED_Blue

They can be easily generated in Excel.

How can it be generated in Excel ??

Is this the only way to set pin assignments in Quartus Prime ver 16.0 lite edition, i have also tried importing .qsf file , but it had no effect ????

So i have to revert back to the old version of Quartus then ????

I wrote my own tcl script for pin assignments , included the file in the project and tried to run it from within tcl console but no success , there are some errors as shown below

Error:invalid command name "UART_nu.tcl"

Error: while executing

Error:"unknown_original UART_nu.tcl"

Error: ("eval" body line 1)

I can't help much without seeing the script, but as far as the Pin Planner is concerned, try closing your project and trashing the db folder. Then reopen your project and go back into the Pin Planner to try to make manual assignments again.

As far as the .csv file is concerned, I'd have to see the format you have in the file. If the format is not correct, you won't be able to use it for import.
