Tensor block usage

The DSP_BLOCK_BALANCING is set to TENSOR, however, the final Flow Summary report doesn't report tensor blocks usage. Instead the DSP blocks show some usage. Also, none of the flow logs has any reference to the tensor blocks. It seems that Quartus Prime just ignored the DSP_BLOCK_BALACING setting! How can we force QP to target the tensor blocks and how to check if it did? Thanks

      Agilex5 both E and D. Agilex3 suppose to have tenor blocks but the DSP_BLOCK_BALANCING doesn't even show up QP synthesis settings!

        Could you kindly share your project .QAR file (in Quartus: Project → Archive Project) so I can investigate further?
        Please zip the file so you can attach it in the forum. .qar type file can not be attached. 
        Alternatively, you may send it to me via private message if the project cannot be shared publicly.

        Regards,
