Global change on $PN visible --- None (off) to Value (on) --- in HDL 16.5

Is it possible to do a global change on the visibility of $PN (from None to Value) on all of the pins on a large schematic symbol with several pins rather than changing the visibilitiy of each individually? I would like to turn on all of the $PN attributes so I can globally move them.

Thank you.

I’d need to double-check on whether or not Global Change can do this.
However, you can do the following:

Edit a file (e.g. change_pn.txt) in the project area.
Add these lines:
set nextgroup A
find $PN
display value ‘A’
write
Launch DEHDL
In the DEHDL console window, type “runscript change_pn.txt)

This will make all the $PN properties visible on all pages of the root design.

Thanks Jerry. That is helpful.
We also were able to group the pins then did Group>Property Display>Value and they all toggled on.

To make All pin numbers visible on big or any component just do menu Component > Section > Single section and click on component. This is a toggle command so click again to hide.
