Timequest - max skew

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 Can anyone suggest the best way to minimize skew between signals of a data bus that is output to a peripheral? I noticed the manual for TimeQuest lists the max_skew command, but when I use it in the SDC file, it isn't recognized.   In other words, how does one get Quartus to place signals of the same group (e.g. Data[7..0]) such that each data bit is no more than Xns from any other bit?  Thanks.

I use the set_max_delay and set_min_delay contraints together.
