    What is BCDCOUNTER in your design? It should be either a Megafunction instance or a user defined block, anyway it must have files with identical name in the project directory or the files must be explicitely included in the project. Maybe you copied the *.BDF design without the included subblocks to a new design?

    it's a schematic. It performs a BCD counter. inside the schematic is code to function it.

    So you have files BCDCOUNTER.BDF and BCDCOUNTER.BSF in your project directory and the schematic is opened when you double-click the instance symbol?
