The Design Breadcrumb Navigation Bar appears horizontally on top of source code editors and Design Diagrams. It displays the path to the design element (module or entity) starting from the design top.

The design hierarchy path is automatically tracked by DVT, for example when navigating from the Design Hierarchy View to source code, when using hyperlinks, when generating diagrams and so on.

	Editor: Click an instance to jump to design element definition. Diagram: Click an instance to generate design element diagram.
	Click the arrow to the side of a design element to see its child instances. Filter the list of child instances using the quick search box. Editor: Click a child instance to jump to design element definition. Diagram: Click a child instance to generate design element diagram.
	Hover an instance to get more information, for example its design element name or power domain information.
	A design element may have multiple instances with different paths in the design hierarchy. Click the Select Instance button to choose from available paths.
	Right click on an instance to jump to its definition.

Note: When you open a file from the Project Explorer or Compile Order views and the file contains multiple design elements, the breadcrumb navigation bar will show the path for the first design element declared in the file. A pop-up notifies you about this.
