Step into Flow


Schematic
InstanceShow the diagram for the selected instance.


Step out Flow


Schematic

Show all connections of the selected instances with other instances; when triggering this operation on a signal, the diagram shows that signal and all the instances it connects; when triggering this operation on a port, the diagram shows that port and all the instances connected through it.



Note: You can press c + Left-Click to trigger this action.
Show Connections Between Flow


Schematic

Trace Drive/Load/Drive and Load SchematicConnectionStart a trace operation for the currently selected signal (see Trace Connections).
Show in Supply Network Diagram Block


Flow


Schematic
InstanceGenerates the Supply Network Diagram, with focus on the current selected Power Domain (see Supply Network Diagram).

Note: When performing an action on an instance, signal or port, a purple highlight contour is added to it.
