set_location_assignment
Usage
set_location_assignment [-comment ] [-disable] [-remove] [-tag ] -to
Options
-comment : Comment

-remove: Option to remove assignment
-tag : Option to tag data to this assignment
-to : Destination of assignment

Description
Sets or removes a location assignment.
Assignments created or modified by using this Tcl command are not saved to the Quartus II Settings File
(.qsf) unless you explicitly call one of the following two Tcl commands:
■ export_assignments
■ project_close (unless "-dont_export_assignments" is specified)
These two Tcl commands reside in the ::quartus::project Tcl package. You must save assignment changes
before you run Quartus®II command-line executables. Note, however, that the Tcl commands
"execute_flow" and "execute_module" (part of the ::quartus::flow Tcl package) automatically call
"export_assignments" before they run command-line executables.
Example
set_location_assignment -to dst LOC
