Adding an Instance of a

Design Wide Object

This topic explains how to add an instance of a design wide object to a diagram.

Procedure

1. Double-click the top node for that object in the Design Browser Window.Note The object must have been added to a diagram already using the standard menu options.

2. If the object does not have ports, skip to step 4.If the object has ports, the Place Dialog is displayed; specify whether you want to create the object instance as a symbol (Symbol Selection) or to create the object instance as a parameterized shape (Port Selection).

3. Either select the symbol to be used (Symbols) or the ports to be included on the parameterized shape (Available Ports) and click OK.

4. Place the object on the diagram as you would when using menu options.Note A signal can be placed on a diagram only if it creates a connection between two or fewer ports.

5. A new instance of the object is listed below the top node for it in the Design Browser Window. The instance lists the ports included on it.
