Arrows now show up on symbols; don't want this

Goblin60

 All,

I did a software upgrade and now my symbols show arrows on the inputs/outputs. I can see the arrows are identifying my pin type assignments. In my library, there are no arrows. How can I shut the arrows off on my schematic?

    I guess that you are using Capture, or CIS, 16.3? Close the product down, in the Capture.ini file find the DrawPinArrows entry, set the "=" value to False.

    I encountered the same issue with the trial version of CIS 17.4-2019.  Is editing Capture.ini still the solution?

    Yes.   That's it.

    You can also access this inside the Tools from Options - Extended Preferences - Designs and Libraries, untick the box for Draw arrows on part input pins.

    Thanks, all. I used Steve's 'untick' suggestion.
