.qxp is not supported in Pro. It's been replaced in 17.0 Pro with .qdb. The flow between Quartus incremental compilation in standard vs. pro is similar, but those file types are not compatible with each other. If a project is created in standard (assuming it's Arria 10 since that's the only family supported in both) and opened in pro, you can't bring it back to standard. I haven't tried it yet, but if incremental compilation with a .qxp file was used in a project that was moved from standard to pro, my guess is you'd get an error or warning that the design partition defined by the .qxp is not available. The black box HDL code would still allow the partition's use in Pro as an empty partition, but you'd have to generate a .qdb file from the originating project and import it to implement the partition's logic.

OK, and yes I'm interested in Arria 10; however, you implied that if you create a project in Standard, it could then be opened in Pro. If true, does that mean that a circuit could be "imported" to Pro simply by making it a project in Standard and then opening that project in Pro? (I'm only interested in a one-way path). And once in Pro, it could be imported into a larger project also in Pro?
