Changing the Home

Instances of an Object

When you create more than one instance of a shared or design wide object, cross-references can be displayed next to the instances in the diagram.

See Cross-References on Objects for more information on setting up cross-references.

The first instance that you created is the home instance by default. The locations of all other instances of the object are displayed next to the home instance. The location of the home instance is displayed next to all other instances of the function.

You can have more than one home instance and change which instances are home instances. If you have more than one home instance, the locations of all other instances (both home instances and other instances) are displayed next to a home instance. All home instances are displayed next to other instances.

If you are viewing an instance of an object, you can jump to another instance in another diagram. See Cross-References on Objects for more information about how to do this.
