*.qip and *.vhd Mega Wizard files

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

In my project I’m using Mega Wizard Plug-In manager custom variation (LPM_ADD_SUB).   When finished, several files are appearing: *.qip and below that, the *.vhd file (project navigator under Files).   If I want to copy the upper architecture to another project, do I need to copy the *.qip file too or the *.vhd would be enough? (or maybe I need to create the whole custom variation from the start on my new project)  Idan

need to copy the *.qip file + *.vhd

the .qip references all of the source files for a given IP. while not necessary for compilation, they making managing IP source files easier. however, for a simple LPM function it may only be referencing the one .vhd file, so you may not gain much keeping the .qip
