The Autohide
unconnected
pins of
hierarchical instance option is enabled by
default.
However,
Autohide unconnected pins of leaf instance is disabled
by default, which means that the schematic viewer displays all instance ports even when the
connected net is not displayed on the same schematic. This allows you to further expand the
connectivity of the hanging instance port without requiring you to toggle autohide pins option
first.
Note: Instance ports that are configured with
default connection are hidden in the schematic viewer to improve schematic readability. For
example, RAM block.
Auto-hiding unconnected pins makes the instance symbol less cluttered by hiding pins that are not connected to any net. You can disable both auto-hide unconnected pins options when you want to view all pins or obtain properties of unconnected pins.
You can disable auto-hide unconnected pins options either for all instances in the Display setting or for a particular instance using the context-sensitive menu, as shown in the following image:
