What are these white triangles on the symbol?

Hi, does anyone know what are these white triangles on the pins, and how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance.

    They are Diffpair driver pin markers which can be turned on and off using Setup-> Design Parameters. Uncheck the "Diffpair driver pins" and they will go away.

    I have one more question: How were these pins defined as "Diffpair driver pins"?

    In our case, they our defined by our Librarian - in our Logic Symbol libraries.

    Once in PCB Editor, if this pinuse code is missing and we need to manually assign driver pins to constrain dynamically phase matched differential pairs, we have been known to manually assign an Output Pinuse code using Edit Properties, although that shortcut is frowned upon. The proper method, I believe, is to have them defined in the Logic library.
