Display the hierarchical block name on underlying schematic page

There is an additional feature to display the hierarchical block name on the schematic page in OrCAD Capture CIS.

Follow these steps to explore this feature:

  1. Open the top-level design and descend on H-Blockby right-clicking on the block and selecting Descend Hierarchy. It will take you to the underlying schematic page.
  2. Double-click on the title block to open its properties. The Edit Properties dialog box appears. Here, you must add a new property named BLOCK_NAME to the title block and enter its value.
  3. Ensure that the property is marked as displayed. The display of the property can be controlled by clicking on the Display button after adding the property. 

4. The property appears on the TITLE BLOCK of the schematic page. You can adjust the position of the property on the schematic page for better readability.

5. Now, if you descend on BLOCK1 and BLOCK2, the H-Block name can be seen on the schematic page.

Hope you find this feature interesting to use.

Regards,

Yugandhar.
