top files

My top file is Verilog HDL File. But now I want to use Block Diagram/Schematic File as top file.

My project is really big, so it should be a lot of work to creat a new top file.

Is it possible for Quartus to change Verilog HDL File to Block Diagram/Schematic File ?

Please give me some advice, thank you.

    you can create a block from any HDL source that you can then use inside a BDF, but you cannot create a BDF file from an HDL source.

    With the verilog file open in Quartus you click on the "File" menu --> "Create/Update" --> "Create Symbol Files for Current File".

    If you change the ports in your HDL file that you created the symbol for make sure you repeat that step so that your symbol will be updated.
