Multi-page schematics (.bdf) in Quartus II?

Can someone please tell me how to make a multi-page schematic in Altera's Quartus II software? I can't seem to find anything on this in the documentation.

How is connectivity handled between the pages?... just by the net or node name?

Thank you!! Len

The Quartus schematic editor supports single page schematics. There is no limit to the size of a single page. Further abstraction, can be obtained by the use of hierarchy and symbols to connect across hierarchy boundaries.

Hope this helps, Subroto Datta Altera Corp.

For each schematic sheet you can generate a symbol (the inputs and outputs of that sheet become the ports of that symbol). This symbol can be used in other schematics (also multiple times), so you have a hierachical design.

Open the Block you wish to make into a nested symbol Select File | Create/Update | Create Symbol Files for Current File Open the symbol / libraries dialog You will find your new symbol under the "Project" branch

If you ever have cause to change the nested module's I/O ports, you need to repeat the "Create Symbol Files for Current File" step, then open the module that references it, right click, and select Update.
