How to modify a reuse block without changing other identical blocks?

CWalsh

Hi there,

I am designing a schematic that contains a reuse block that is instantiated five times.

When I make a change to any of the five blocks, it updates the other blocks correspondingly which is fine. All good so far.

I wish to slightly modify the first of the five blocks (remove a part and connect nets differently) and not have these changes propagated to the other four blocks. I struggle to find an easy way to do this.

Is there a property or parameter I can give the first block that will allow me to do this? (I do not care about the impact on the layout/PCB side as I am not working with reusable layouts).

Thanks!

    If 'Source' of these 5 blocks are same then it is almost impossible to make few changes to 1 out of 5 blocks and not having these changes to propagate to other replicated block.

    My observation is in reference to DE-HDL.
