missing instance in schematic

SteveRFIC

Hi,

sometimes when I open a schematic, there are some instances missing, like instances from other libraries, that have been removed later on.

such instances will be displayed as a crossed box using those flashing lines, with text "missing instance" on it.

Can I hide the display of those missing instances so that the boxes are not visible in the schematic? 

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

    My first reaction was "why on earth would you want this?". I was surprised to find that control over this was added in IC617 ISR2 (so relatively recently):

    envSetVal("graphic" "displayMissingMasterMarkers" 'boolean nil)

    or if a window is already open, this will change it for the current window:

    hiGetCurrentWindow()->displayMissingMasterMarkers=nil

    Note that even with this turned off, you would still get a dialog box telling you that some instances are unbound.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
