Accessing a Hierarchical Object

The hierarchical objects associated with a generated virtual hierarchy are categorized under the Hierarchy data set in the Navigator assistant.

Selecting the data set updates the Navigator tree to display the hierarchical instances such as instances, interface nets, soft blocks, sub-Modgens, clones, and so on, associated with the generated virtual hierarchies. In addition, the data set displays virtual hierarchies, if any, existing in the hierarchy of a virtual hierarchy. The XL Status of the hierarchical objects is also displayed. For soft blocks, the information balloon of the instance displays the message that the selected instance is a soft block.    

By design, the hierarchical display of a virtual hierarchy in the Navigator assistant is restricted to avoid complexity.
