How do I create a global block in Quartus Schematics?

Hey, I'm currently working on a project in Quartus and I'm using the Schematic- / Block-Diagramm. And for this project I need to create my own block and I know I can do that with file > create/up...

Thank you for your reply, but do you know if there's a possibility to put the block design in the general library, so I dont have to copy it again and again. Because my project is to prepare the lab tasks for other students and even though it's easy it would be too much work to teach every student how to copy that design in the folder that they're currently working in.

You can put IP wherever you want, including the Quartus installation directory with the included IP, but it usually makes more sense to separate custom IP out to its own location. It's up to you.

    Ok, I copied the .bsf file, but got the error message shown in the screenshots. After that I also copied the .bdf file and after that I even created a text file with the inputs and outputs, but I still get the message: "cannot locate design file for entity 1Hz_block".

    Where's my mistake, I just can't find it?
