route clock to clocknet

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, i get a clocksignal in on a clockpin, and i want to use that signal to drive both a module in my sopc builder system and a custom module outside of it. Is the signal automatically routed to a clocknet, if not what do i need to do to make it so? 

 another question, is it okay to drive logic directly from an external signal, or should i use a pll to stabilize it?  i use a cyclone iv by the way

If you are using a dedicated clock input pin, then yes, it will be automatically routed to a global clock network. 

 Usually, it's fine to use the external clock signal directly to drive logic.
