how to import fpga pin groups?

[blakaxe@gmail.com]

When you import a pin assignment file in Quartus, pin group names are
not read.
Quartus assignes its own group names.

Does anyone know how to avoid this?

Example
I have the following line in the assignment file,
AF4,,DataCtrlIO[10],Bidir,3.3-V LVTTL,,,,,DEMOD,,PAD433,13,
the group name is DEMOD

This does not appear in the pin assignment editor.

Thanks

If I say Assignment, Pins, I get a table with column headings.
If I say File, Export, CVS from there I get something like this:

# Note: The column header names should not be changed if you wish to
import this .csv file into the Quartus II software.

To,Direction,Location,Reserved,Group,I/O Bank,I/O Standard,CurrentStrength

bitstream,Input,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
crc32not16,Input,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
eop,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.abort,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.fcs,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.long,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.misalign,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.none,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
error_code.short,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
frame_loss,Output,,,,,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
max_frame_usr[13],Input,,,max_frame_usr[13..0],,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
max_frame_usr[12],Input,,,max_frame_usr[13..0],,3.3-V LVTTL,16mA
....

Looks to me like you have different columns.
Does Altera still answer the phones?
