Here are the steps to generate the Tcl file with Quartus II 4.0.
- Open the project in Quartus.
- From the menu choose Assignments->EDA Tool Settings
- Click on Timing Analysis to open up the Timing Analysis Panel.
- In the Timing Analysis Panel, select Tool Name to be Prime Time (VHDL Output from Quartus II).
- From the menu choose Processing->Start->Start EDA Netlist Writer
- This will create a directory called Timing in your project directory.
- The Timing directory will have a subdirectory called Primetime.
- The Primetine directory wil have the Tcl file with the name projectname_pt_vhd.tcl
