Schematic Symbols: How to hide pins on 17.2 S057

Hi, I see what you mean. I am running ISR 054 and I do not see a way to hide a pin so it is ignored and does not display on the schematic sheet like what used to be available before Cadence changed Capture from the older 16x version.

Capture looks to be broken.

Old ver - hiding pin 4 as a test. "Works no problem pin does not show on the schematic" 

VER 17.2 054 - Unable to hide ignore pin 4.

In the newer version of Capture you can click on a pin then do a right click to edit the pin. A small spreadsheet pops up. When I click in the cell to change "Normal View, Pin Visible" to "No" there is no way to choose a no option ?, The cell is locked on "Yes"

Any takers ?

BTW, The greyed out menus have been that way basically since they changed to the newer version of capture.

Just an update on this:

If you click on the cell "Section Pin Ignore" you can change that to yes to hide the pin. The pin shows in the editor like it did in the prior version but does not show up in the schematic. This looks OK. The pin visible box is kind of throwing me off because at a first glance one would think if you want to hide a pin then that might be a good place to click to hide it ?

Thanks.

Hi, the Pin visibility can be toggled only for Power" type pins. If your pin is of type power the drop down becomes enabled and one can toggle the visibility for power pins. see snapshot below.

This behavior is same as the old symbol editor where the visibility is always ON for Non-Power pins but can be toggled for Power pins  (snap below for edit pin dialog)

Like you mentioned "Pin ignore" columns should be used for hiding the pins. simply click "Edit pins" to launch the edit pins dialog and set the pin ignore property accordingly. (example shown below)

Thanks,

Thank you so much Nitin. That's exactly what I needed. Not sure how I missed it. Perfect, thank you.

Hi. And if you want to add 'implicite' (that the correct word?), you can hit the '+' indicator on the 'edit part' function, and add hidden pins too:

Good day.

I realize the original post is 7 months old, but are all of these properties added to the schematic symbol because you don't have a CIS database? 

In version 17.4, Pin Ignore also removes it from the netlist.  What is the point of that?
