Error message: Can't find design entity "..."

I have a design containing both *.bdf and verilog files. In the hierarchy, when I click on a bdf module (XP running Quartus v10.1), I get an error window: "Can't find design entity ..." ...

I found similar issues in two cases:

1) using legacy symbols from maxplus2 directory

2) trying to simulate designs including LPM_* symbols moving from QII9.1 to 10.1

In both cases a workaround was to eliminate the bdf from the project and just synthesize and simulate the HDL files

Fpr the case 1) also a slight change of the HDL files has been needed.

Hope it helps.
