ID:231061 Can't export assignments to file <name> in current project directory -- specify a different directory

CAUSE: You specified a Quartus Prime Settings File (.qsf) name and path in the File name box in the Export Logic Lock Regions dialog box, but the path you specified is the current project directory. The Quartus Prime software cannot export assignments to a file in the current project directory. You cannot continue unless you specify a file in a different directory.

ACTION: Click OK to close the message dialog box, and then specify a file in a different directory.
