Finding Elements

For large netlists, it can be difficult to browse elements with the Netlist Hierarchy. Instead you can use the Find function to search for elements by name or with a regular expression. You can choose whether to search instances, ports, nets, or a combination.

  1. Choose Edit > Find to open the Find dialog box.
  2. Enter the search criteria.
  3. Click OK.
  4. The Search Result pane opens and displays the results. Click on an element name to see it in the viewer.
    Note: For buses, you need to click on the bus name not the signal name to see it in the viewer.
