Finding names, and locating cursors
Find HDL item names with the Edit > Find menu selection in these windows:
List, Process, Signals, Source, Structure, Variables, and Wave windows.
You can also:
Locate time markers in the List window with the Markers > Goto menu
selection.
Locate time cursors in the Wave window with the Cursor > Goto menu
selection.
Sorting HDL items
Use the Edit > Sort menu selection in the windows below to sort HDL items in
ascending, descending or declaration order.
Process, Signals, Source, Structure, Variables and Wave windows
Names such as net_1, net_10, and net_2 will sort numerically in the Signals and
Wave windows.
Menu tear off
All window menus may be "torn off " to create a separate menu window. To tear
off, click on the menu, then select the dotted-line button at the top of the menu.
Combine signals into a user-defined bus
You can collect selected items in the List window (7-128) and Wave window (7-
164)
displays and combine them into a bus named by you. In the List window, the
Edit > Combine menu selection allows you to move the selected items to the new
bus as long as they are all scalars or arrays of the same base type (records are not
yet supported).
In the Wave window
(7-164), the Edit > Combine menu selection requires all
selected items to be either all scalars or all arrays of the same size. The benefit of
this added restriction is that the bus can be expanded to show each element as a
separate waveform. Using the flatten option allows scalars and various array sizes
to be mixed, but foregoes display of child waveforms.
The keep option in both windows copies the signals rather than moving them.
