Node finder cannot find nodes with multiple pins

Hello,

I have a Quartus project which consists of a VHDL file, a block diagram file and a vector waveform file. In my block diagram, some of my inputs and outputs are multiple pins, which I created by typing for example "NAME[3..0]" as the name of the input pin. When using node finder in the vector waveform file, Quartus cannot find these pins at all. I also tried adding them manually, but Quartus removes them when I run the simulation. Any help?

    Has the how are you finding the pins? I suggest searching the hdl netlist (pre synthesis). Synthesis may have renamed the net.

    I found the solution to this problem. The block diagram file must be set as the top level design entity.
