Declaring global net in schematic composer

RFStuff

 Dear All,

I want to name a net as global so that it can be accessed in the hierarchy.

But also I want the same net should not be created as a PIN in layout.

Could anybody please tell how that can be achieved ?

Kind Regards,

    Hi,

    An exclamation point after the net name indicates that it is a global net, for example "vdd!" is considered a global net. If you have a pin for this in the schematic view, when creating a layout using VLS-XL, then a pin will be created in the layout view.  Why do you not want the pin to be created in the layout?  If a connection has to be connected to or through a block then it would need to be present in the layout, no?

    regards,

    Lawrence.
