OPTIMIZE_HOLD_TIMING
Allows the Fitter to optimize hold time by adding delay to the appropriate paths. The Optimize Timing
option must be turned on in order for this option to work. If you are using the TimeQuest Timing
Analyzer, and specify the I/O paths and Minimum tpd Paths setting, all assignments involving I/O pins
are optimized. Specifying the All Paths setting directs the Fitter to optimize the hold time of all paths.
Turning off this option directs the Fitter not to optimize the hold time of any paths.
