ABSTRACT:
A method and a system for displaying hierarchical navigating, debugging and editing of selected hierarchical levels of design of a plurality of hierarchical levels of design in graphical hierarchical design applications, by assigning, from a schematic of the integrated circuit, a viewable scope of a block element desired for traversing. Opening the viewable scope of the block element, by using a mouse scrolling device to cause a cursor to highlight and roll in a downward direction over the highlighted block element, while holding down a predefined keyboard key. Then closing the viewable scope of the block element, by causing the cursor to be positioned in an empty area of the schematic, while holding down an other predefined keyboard key and rolling the mouse scrolling device in an upward direction.
