I am kind of new to FPGA design and I have to understand a circuit given as a set of hierarchical .vhd files (top level and two-three lower levels), but it would be kind of nice to see it layed out on a piece of paper... Is there a tool to generate schematics from vhd files to visualize vhd?

As I understood it, the schematic approach and the VHDL approach are not necessarily equivalent. Meaning not every line of code can be shown as schematic. Eg statemachines are supposed not to be displayable in schematics.

This is the only thing I want right now.
I have version 3, so I guess I need to request an upgrade. Thanks.
RTL viewer is available with the full version of the Quartus II version 4.0 software. For details on RTL viewer, check the Quartus II Handbook chapter
