Is it possible to highlight several separate entities in the floorplanner, preferably giving each entity a different colour? 

 

Currently Im just using the project navigator -> rightclick -> locate in floorplanner. So it saves the different searches, but Id like to show several at once.

What version of Quartus? I think for a year or two you've been able to select multiple hierarchies, and they come up in different colors. In 12.1 there's a report window showing each hierarchy and it's color, and you can check/uncheck them. (It only shows the hierarchies you've located...)
