Just wondering if there is a way to generate a block diagram from just a VHD file? I am looking at an old vhd file for the max7000S:EPM7256SQC208 CPLD, also using version 10 web edition of quartus 2.

I think RTL viewer may help you.

yes. 

 

File -> create/update -> symbol file from current file. 

 

Be aware, it only likes certain things on the port map. 

 

Edit - this just creates you a block to put in another graphic file. 

For a schematic view of your code, you need the RTL viewer.

it looks like (create symbol file from current file) is not enabled, any ideas? The VHDL file is around 7 years old.
