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,

     When I create the net say xyz!, even if I don't create a PIN in schematic for it, the Layout automatically expects a PIN for it.

    It looks like a global net is treated as PIN/port in schematic/layout.

    If you don't label this net as a PIN in layout it creates LVS error.

    But I want this global net shouldn't be treated as a PIN/port rather it should be treated as an ordinary net .

    How that can be achieved ?
