If you don't like my use of environment variables, there are two other solutions;

1. The ::quartus() array is available in most of these tools. If the environment is inherited when one tool starts the next, then you can put a variable in ::quartus and access it in the downstream tools.

2. You can create a fake generic/parameter using set_parameter, and then access it later using get_parameter

Personally I see no harm in setting a few environment variables :)
