When zooming into a network such that it is not fully visible in the workspace, a mini map is displayed (default setting), allowing navigation within the network. The settings and appearance of the mini map can be edited in the Preferences, see Section 4.3.7, “Preferences — Network Appearance”.
The highlighted area of the map can be dragged with the mouse, and the network rendering is adjusted accordingly.
In the case of macro modules, the network(s) from which the internal network is opened can be displayed in a hierarchy if the option Show parent navigation frames is enabled. See Section 4.3.7, “Preferences — Network Appearance” for details.
Parent navigation frames (PNF) can be used to navigate to networks higher in the hierarchy or to open internal macro networks of a parent frame.
Click a PNF to display its network.
Right-click a PNF to open a context menu that lists the names of all macros in that network. Select a macro name to open and activate its network. The currently displayed macro network is marked as “[Current]:”.
If a parent network is not open, the PNF is rendered as a plain, dark gray square. Upon clicking it, the network is opened and the PNF is updated to show the small mini map rendering.

The PNF shows not only the modules and their connections but also the highlight state of the modules. Make sure to select a macro before opening its internal network so that the PNF displays that macro as highlighted. |
