Quartus help - RTL Viewer does't update after changes in the code

Question

Hello,

On the very first time i open the RTL Viewer in any new project - it generates a schematic.

But if i change something in the Verilog code, compile, and open the RTL Viewer again, the RTL Viewer doesn't update accordingly.

The only way i can get it to update is clicking:

project > clean project

and then open the RTL Viewer again.

is there a nicer, more direct way to do it?

thx

What kind of changes are you making to the design? Are you saying you do a full recompile and RTL Viewer doesn't reflect those changes? What is your indication that things haven't changed?

If you make small changes to a design, you might not notice what synthesis has changed.

When you say you recompile after editing the code, are you doing a full recompile or just analysis and elaboration?

Also, what version of the software are you using? And are you using incremental compilation? Are there any strange warnings appearing during compilation?

Something is clearly stuck in the compilation database and either it's a problem with your installation or perhaps you've set up something with incremental compilation that is preventing the design from being recompiled.

What does the technology map viewer look like when you change the code?
