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”.

Figure 3.37. Mini Map

The highlighted area of the map can be dragged with the mouse, and the network rendering is adjusted accordingly.

Figure 3.38. Navigating in the Mini Map

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.

Figure 3.39. Parent Navigation Frame for Macro Modules

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.

Figure 3.40. Parent Navigation Frame Context Menu

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.

	Tip
	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.
