Go To Hints
This post is part of a series on the Importance of Ease-of-Use in Design Tools, which explores design in graphical capture and simulation tools.
Last time, I wrote about how the spreadsheet now has hints to help identify which cells can be edited, and what will happen when you click to edit the cell. In addition to the spreadsheet, the Results tab in the Spreadsheet View also got some hints in Version 11. Some items in the Results tab have additional information so that you can double click the item, and the item (a net, component, etc) will be highlighted in the workspace. Previously though, it was difficult to identify which items had this "Go to" information, and the best you could do was to right-click on the item and see if the Go to option was enabled.
In Version 11, Go to items are much more common and prominent, thanks to the new schematic capture system, redesigned forward and backwards annotation, and the new programmable logic device feature, all of which are included in Version 11. Like spreadsheets, the Results tab also got some hints. In this case, the arrow icon in the left column of the Results tab (highlighted here in blue) means "I go somewhere."
