Suggestions on graphical VHDL editors

Graphical VHDL Editor

I am looking for a Graphical VHDL Editor. I have build varius VHDL modules and i want to create multiple instances of them and connect them in pure-structural manner at top-level. I wish to avoid instantiating them by hand because it is confusing and error prone . I have tried to instantiate them using the generate vhdl feature, but the structures are not regular , so there no use for it.
If you hava any suggestion please post it, free tools would be preferable.
Many thanks

you can find this feature in Mentor Tools "FPGA Advantage" i know its not a free tool but it will be so effective with your need.

Aldec also has a very good graphical environment with Active-HDL.

Active HDL can be one solution for graphical vdhl also u can use qartusII symbol editor /Xlilinx ISE symbol editor to do the graphical entries

I have studied such topic for years. The traditional schematic based tool usually cannot fit for large project.
I think the best one is Topweaver. It is free. Visit http://www.topweaver.com/demo.htm for quick demos.

You may also like to use Xilinx EDK.

Hi
Try XILINX WebPack package.
Its free, also there are ports to run it on both LINUX and Sun Solaris.
