Primary Navigation Panel

Location in Explorer Window

The Primary Navigation Panel is the main way to explore the circuit. Single click on items to display more details about them in the Details Panel. Double click on items to explore into them. The parent nodes are always either devices or nets. Children nodes are always the pins found on the device or net. If nets are linked or coupled together, all related nets will be displayed.
