Design Hierarchy Navigation
AutoVue supports navigation through the hierarchical structure of a schematic drawing. A hierarchical block in a schematic is a symbol that refers to a child schematic. With the Descend Hierarchy option, you can navigate to a child schematic. With the Ascend Hierarchy option, you can navigate from the child schematic to the parent page.
Navigating using Descend Hierarchy
- On the parent page, select any hierarchical block in the workspace, then right-click and select Descend Hierarchy from the pop-up menu.
AutoVue opens the page with the selected child schematic.
Note You can also select the hierarchical block in the Navigation Panel or in the Entity Browser dialog, then right-click and select Descend Hierarchy.
Navigating using Ascend Hierarchy
- On the child page of your schematic's design hierarchy, right click an entity in the workspace and select Ascend Hierarchy from the pop-up menu.
AutoVue returns to the parent page.
If you select an entity that has multiple parents, the Ascend Hierarchy dialog appears displaying the parent pages.
Select the Parent page you want to go to, then click OK.
AutoVue returns to the selected parent page.
Note You can also select the entity in the Navigation Panel or in the Entity Browser dialog, then right-click and select Ascend Hierarchy.
