Super ContributorNormally, when you archive a project that includes files outside the project directory, the archiver copies the external files into the .qar and gives them a virtual drive letter to make the .qar portable. I don't know if the -common_dir option (which I haven't seen before) is affecting this. Have you tried creating the .qar without this option?

Occasional ContributorExcluding "-common_dir", has no effect: Quartus still tries to use absolute paths on the restored project and TimeQuest fails to locate the design file.
The absolute path is to a folder within the folder where top.qsf is located.
