25.1 Design Breadcrumb

The Design Breadcrumb Navigation Bar appears horizontally on top of source code editors and Design Diagrams.

For source code editors, it displays the path to the design element (module or entity) under the cursor starting from the design top.

For Design Diagrams, it displays the path to the diagram's design element.

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.
