quartus_sta won't run after "Succesful" Fitter run

Hi,

>>> Error: Can't run TimeQuest Timing Analyzer (quartus_sta) -- Fitter (quartus_fit) failed or was not run.

In most cases this error is real. For some reason quartus_map or quartus_fit did fail. Take a look at the end of <your qsf name>.map.rpt and <your qsf name>.fit.rpt and make sure it's successfully completed.

>>> 1. Why isn't the fitter completion being saved?

Here is an example of the simplest possible working script:

quartus_map --64bit --read_settings_files=on --write_settings_files=off <qpf_name> -c <qsf_name>

quartus_fit --64bit --read_settings_files=off --write_settings_files=off <qpf_name> -c <qsf_name>

quartus_asm --64bit --read_settings_files=off --write_settings_files=off <qpf_name> -c <qsf_name>

quartus_sta <qpf_name> -c <qsf_name>

>>> 2. Like for example: what is "read_settings_files=on" do?

>>> 3. (And what documentation is this information in - none that I can find?)

You can find this info in "Quartus II Scripting Reference Manual". Just google the name.
