set_global_assignment (::quartus::project)

Belongs to ::quartus::project 6.0

Sets or removes a global assignment.

Assignments created or modified by using this Tcl command are not
saved to the Quartus Prime Settings File (.qsf) unless you explicitly
call one of the following two Tcl commands (from the
::quartus::project Tcl package):

1) export_assignments 
2) project_close (unless -dont_export_assignments is specified as an
argument to project_close)

You must save assignment changes before you run Quartus Prime
command-line executables. Note, however, that the Tcl commands
execute_flow and execute_module (from the ::quartus::flow Tcl
package) call "export_assignments" before they run
command-line executables.

For entity-specific assignments, use the -entity option to force the
assignment to specified entity. If the -entity option is not
specified, the value for the FOCUS_ENTITY_NAME assignment is used. If
the FOCUS_ENTITY_NAME value is not found, the revision name is used.

If the Quartus Prime Settings File contains a USER_LIBRARIES assignment
and you call set_global_assignment to set a SEARCH_PATH or
USER_LIBRARIES assignment, the existing USER_LIBRARIES assignment
expands into one or more SEARCH_PATH assignments.

Note that values that begin with a dash ("-") should be enclosed in a
backslash followed by a quote. In the following example, -02 is
enclosed by \" at the beginning and the end.

set_global_assignment -name ARM_CPP_COMMAND_LINE \"-O2\"

## Specify Stratix as the family to use when compiling
set_global_assignment -name FAMILY Stratix

## If the family name has empty spaces, use quotes

## or remove any empty space
