EDA Tool Paths

The Toolsets section lists user options for software toolsets. You can see and change these options in the quartus2.ini file with two Tcl commands, set_user_option and get_user_option under the project package.

The following table shows the Toolsets section variable names and values:

Variable Name	Values
`EDA_TOOL_PATH_ACTIVEHDL` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_MODELSIM` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_MODELSIM_ALTERA` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_NCSIM` EDA_TOOL_PATH_PRECISION `EDA_TOOL_PATH_PRIMETIME` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_SYNPLIFY` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_SYNPLIFY_PRO` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_VCS` `EDA_TOOL_PATH_VCS_MX`	<The directory location where the EDA tool resides. The NativeLink feature in the Quartus^® Prime Standard Edition software launches the EDA tool from this location.> Note: The EDA tools include Active-HDL, the FPGA Compiler II, Leonardo Spectrum, ModelSim, ModelSim-Altera, NC-Verilog or NC-VHDL, Precision RTL Synthesis, PrimeTime, Synplify, Synplify Pro, VCS, and VCS MX software.
`EDA_TOOL_ENABLE_NATIVELINK_FOR_SYNPLIFY_NODE_LOCKED_LICENSE`	`(On \| Off)`
