Control how symbel (.bsf) file is created from verilog (.v) file in Quartus II

Hi, 

 

In using "Create symbol Files for current file" on my 

cycloneIII_3c120_dev_niosII_standard_sopc.v, somehow 

the behavior that the symbol is created changes. 

I want to switch back to the old (before) way. But I do not know  

how. 

 

before: The ports for each sopc component (module)  

locate in one isolated area (in the symbol) separated by  

dotted lines. The dotted line are created automatically. 

Only one bsf file (for current .v file) is created as the result of 

the process. 

 

now: Many bsf files (for all .v files under current .v file) are created. 

In the top bsf file, all (in or out) ports for all sopc components are  

together without separation by dotted line.  

 

Anyone can help me on how to control the behavior of the operation?  

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

By the way, I am using Quartus II V9.0 web edition. 

I think quartus_map is used for this operation. 

 

The two versions of symbol are attached. So you can 

easily see the difference through the thumbnail images. 

 

Once again, my question is how I can choose the 

style of symbol file when creating it from verilog file. 

 

Thanks,
