Viewing the entire schematic can be useful when debugging and tracing through a large netlist. The Quartus® Prime software allows you to quickly navigate to a specific section of the schematic using the Bird’s Eye View feature, which is available in the RTL Viewer and Technology Map Viewer.

The Bird’s Eye View shows the current area of interest:

  • Select an area by clicking and dragging the indicator or right-clicking to form a rectangular box around an area.
  • Click and drag the rectangular box to move around the schematic.
  • Resize the rectangular box to zoom-in or zoom-out in the schematic view.
