I closed quartus and open it again and everything seems to work fine. I can´t explain why it didn´t work before.

Now I am able to run synplify from within Quartus.

What i would like to know is can synplify take the constraints already in place in the quartus project file and use these?

It seems that synplify ignores any Tco constraints. Why would this be?

I also see some assignments in the assignment editor have been reverted to old values. I don´t know if synplify had anything to do with it? I can´t imagine so.

Thanks

I'm not very familiar with the native link between both tools, but I would assume that the constraints set in Synplify (e.g. Clocks) are send to the Quartus settings. As far as I know there is not automatic way for Quartus settings send back to SynplifyPro.

BTW when set the constarints in SynplifyPro did check that they are active ? Is indicated by an mark in the checkbox.
