You can use the command-line to run a Tcl file. That Tcl file can contain commands to setup an entire project.

Take a look at the example I posted in this thread ...

http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45927

Start by running the Tcl file from within the Quartus GUI via the Tcl console.

You can also run the same script from the command-line by starting the NIOS II IDE shell, changing to the project folder, and then typing

quartus_sh -t scripts/synth.tcl

at which point you'll see all the Quartus messages fly by on your console.

Cheers,

Dave
