Debugging Current State in Simulation (VHDL/Quartus)?

Hey, I've implemented a moore-type finite state machine using process statements and a state variable "y" which holds the current state. TYPE State_type IS (state0,state1,state2...) -- lots of ...

Sorry I dont know about the quartus simulator (due to be dropped in Q10 btw). In modelsim you just pick up the state signal and drop it on the wave window and watch the state change.

I would imagine the quartus simulator wont give you state encoding as this wont be assigned until you synthesize the design.
