set_multicycle_path -from latch/D -to latch/D seems not work
 

set_multicycle_path -from latch/D -to latch/D seems not work

as long as there is a path between these two pins, it should work. after you issue the command, do a timing report from the same pin pair and check it.
 

After set_multicycle_path 2 -setup -from ... -to ... , it will return '1' which means success, but when report_timing of the 2 points, it still check timing in one cycle

I believe it means you missed something, maybe your from/to pair is not right. Also be aware that you can use wildcards if needed to capture multiple paths, say from signalA to arrayB[*]
 

Just curious: in your statement "set_multicycle_path -from latch/D -to latch/D" the first latch and the second latch are different instances or the same?
 

Different latch, sorry for making you confused.
 

I think there isn't matching problem, I have use this command many times for dff(edge-sensitive) with no problems. This is first time I use this command for latch (level-sensitive). Checking the Primetime guide, it says latch/D should be set in '-from' list, but it still doesn't work. I have no idea how to fix it.
 

can you post the timing report and the exact command you have used?
