    Hi,


    The top-level schematic diagrams bdf file must be in same directory or folder with the symbols in libraries that are used with relative paths. Then only the problem mentioned above can be solved.


    Hope it helps.

    That's too bad. In older Quartus Versions (e.g. 14.1.0) the "Save As.." functionality is working fine, even if the toplevel and the libraries (used with relative paths) are not in the same directory.
    So my workaround will remain using an outdated Quartus Version in order to create symbols derived from existing files.
