Subject: Do Anyone Have An RTL-Level Hierarchy Tracing Tool/Methodology?

Hi, John,

I am looking for a tool or script which will trace a specified reg or wire
through the RTL hierarchy with possibly many name changes.  When studying
an RTL design which was writtem by somebody else, it helps to make drawings
of one functional section of the design at a time.  I find it very tedious
to track nets through the entire RTL design.  This process is especially
difficult when there is a deep hierarchy with many name changes.  Do you
know of a tool which could solve this problem?
