Regenerate All Cores in Quartus

In Xilinx EDA, you have the ability to "Regenerate All Cores" if you were to change the targeted device in your project. (more info here (http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx13_2/pp_p_process_regenerate_all_cores.htm)) In Quartus II, is there a similar process you have to do to optimize design if I change a project device?

Specifically, I'm running a tcl script that loops through every single device in a specifically family (ex. Stratix V) and running "execute_flow -compile" with all of them. I'm using LPM_ADD_SUB IP core and basically a wrapper. I'm researching to see the placed utilization (how many LUTS, registers, DSPs used etc.) differences between all the devices within a single family.

Thanks,

Kevin

    Same question here. Nobody knows, or the function doesn't exist?

    From the Project menu, try the Update IP cores (forget the name right now) dialog. I don't know if it works with changing devices since it's usually used when moving to a newer version of the software, but it can't hurt to try it.

    Hi sstrell, the menu item is "Upgrade IP Components..." and is primarily intended for upgrading when changing the Quartus version (as you mentioned). I don't see any possibility to re-generate all cores at once from this dialogue if opened in the same version of Quartus.
