Hi ferus,

To find out why partitions aren't being preserved, there are a few report panels to check:

1) The Fitter report includes panels called "Preservation Summary" and "Partition Settings" which breakdown on a per-partition basis how much was preserved. It also shows what the requested netlist-type was for each partition and what was actually used.

2) The Synthesis report includes a panel called "Dependent Source Files" for each partition along with which one it detected as changed. This can help you narrow down why a partition was re-synthesized.
