What does "point to point assignment" mean in the FPGA design and why do you need to assign a pin for a path?
I tried but failed to find a comprehensive tutorial/document (apart from Quartus handbook) introducing pin assignment in .qsf files or in assignment editor, any recommendations? Thanks a lot.- Tags:

By the way, where do you come across point to point assignment? I am not aware of this assignment. Anyway, for input and output pin in your design, you would need to do the right pin assignment to ensure it is placed on your desired pin. You can try to search Altera web to see if there is any online training on basic QII.

The two columns only apply for a path with source/destination. But for some assignments it doesn't make any sense obviously such as pins as you found out in which case one column applies(to). There are many others e.g. current strength or io standard. So it is matter of fitting in and a lazy shortcut from Altera's GUI engineer.
