Overview
The Design Breadcrumb Navigation Bar appears horizontally on top of source code editors and design diagrams. It displays the path to the current design element 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, or when using hyperlinks.
Toggling Breadcrumbs
You can show or hide the breadcrumb navigation bar using the Toggle Breadcrumb toolbar button.
Navigating the Design Hierarchy
- In the breadcrumb, click an instance to jump to the design element definition.
- Click the arrow to the side of a design element to see its child instances.
- You can filter the list of children using the quick search box.
- Click a child instance to jump to the design element definition.
The same actions are available in design diagrams.
Additional Features
Hover an instance in the breadcrumb to get more information, for example its design element name or power domain information. If a design element has multiple instances with different paths in the design hierarchy, click the Select Instance button to choose from available paths.
