Design Hierarchy and System Block Designs

Design Hierarchy

Representations

Blocks and their highway connections are used to represent an overview of multiple inter-related systems. Unlike tangible objects, such as devices, connectors, wires and multicores, blocks exist for documentation and navigational purposes and to show connectivity (shared conductors) that traverse logical designs. The block design and its hierarchical designs must exist within the same active build list for navigation to occur.
