Viewing signal lines beside ports during simulation

Hello! I would like to be able to see during a functional simulation signals declared in an architecture. Up to now, I can only see the ports declared in the entity but not the signals declared...

You're right Brad, I've started not long ago to read about PRESERVE, KEEP, NOPRUNE Quartus attributs. I could realize those caveats that could be created with optimization while I was reading. Thanks for mentioning it anyway.

I did not yet have the opportunity to try that. I was wondering if you knew if the Cyclone II FPGA Starter Board could be used with another piece of software, ORCAD for example? - Not that I want to put away QUARTUS, at the contrary, but ORCAD compiles so much faster. I guess I'll need a USB BLASTER attached with ORCAD to be able to upload the code to the starter kit.

Regards,
