Setting Display Depth in Design Planning and Analysis

The Design Planning and Analysis tool enables you to control the display depth only for the selected components, or for all the components in the design.

To increase (or decrease) the display depth for the selected components:

1. In the layout canvas, select the virtual hierarchy for which the display depth needs to be increased (or decreased).
2. Select the Increase Display Depth toolbar button to increase the display depth. Select the Decrease Display Depth toolbar button, if the display depth needs to be decreased.
   Alternatively, right-click the virtual hierarchy in the Navigator assistant and choose Display – Increment to increase the display depth or Display – Decrement to decrease the display depth.
   The display depth of the selected virtual hierarchy is incremented (or decreased) by one level and the layout canvas also displays the components that are at the next level.

If no components are selected before the display depth is increased or decreased, the display depth is changed for all the components in the design.
