25.4 Predefined Content Filters

By default, elements defined in the UVM, OVM and VMM libraries are filtered out by Predefined Content Filters from the following views:

Call Hierarchy
Diagrams
Outline
References
Workspace Symbols
UVM Sequence Tree
Problems
Compile Order
Design Hierarchy
Verification Hierarchy.

You can easily enable/disable Predefined Content Filters from File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > DVT > Content Filters: Predefined.
