set_global_assignment -name MESSAGE_DISABLE -entity ?

Hi sstrell,

thanks for the answer. That helped.

To be honest, I don't find that easier. I find the GUI to be a bit of a maze. I even had to use the manual to find out exactly how to do this cross-probing thing. Thanks for adding the '(cross-probe)' That's what enabled me to find the answer. Anyway, doing this will of course simply generate the entry in the .qsf file that I wanted to add in the first place. It turns out there is an error in the user manual. It says there to place the following in the .qsf file:

set_global_assignment -name MESSAGE_DISABLE -entity <name>

In reality it needs to be:

set_instance_assignment -name MESSAGE_DISABLE <message ID> -entity "<entity name>"

Notice the <message ID> after MESSAGE_DISABLE. Also the name must be in double quotes. The name itself is exactly as I had expected the Verilog instance name.
