Design file __.vhd which is not specified as a design file for the current project

hello,

im getting this warning on my quartus' console:

"Using design file LPT_SOPC.vhd (the hardware description of my sopc) which is not specified as a design file for the current project, but contains definitions for 10 design units and 20 entitites in the project"

searched here and in google with no useful results, how can i set it as a design file for my project?

    Sorry I am quite new to Quartus II, so I may be well off the mark...

    But when you have your project open, open the LPT_SOPC.vhd.

    When that is open aswell as your project, just go to the project>>Add Current File To Project or Project>>Add/Remove Files In Project...

    To just add the file then recompile???

    Regards,

    Lee

    It's not so much a warning as it it information, that it found a .vhd file you are using in your project.

    You should just ignore it and don't mess with the files (that can only mess things up).

    If it bothers you, you can set the warning as suppressed by right clicking it. Then it will go to the suppressed tab.

    Or you could hit files in your Quartus project (top right box), then right click the files map -> add/remove files in project -> hit the three dots -> look up your file -> hit add -> hit apply. But like I said I wouldn't recommend it.
