To remove cross-reference information from ports in your Altium schematic, right-click in the schematic editor workspace (away from any objects) and select Sheet Actions » Port Cross Reference » Remove From Project. This command will globally remove the port cross-referencing from your project.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Open your schematic: Make sure the schematic sheet containing the ports with cross-references is open in Altium Designer.
-
Right-click in an empty area: Right-click in the schematic sheet, ensuring you're not clicking on any components, wires, or other design objects. Clicking on an empty area of the schematic sheet is crucial.
-
Navigate to Sheet Actions: In the context menu that appears, look for the "Sheet Actions" submenu.
-
Select Port Cross Reference: Within the "Sheet Actions" submenu, find the "Port Cross Reference" option.
-
Choose "Remove From Project": Select "Remove From Project" from the "Port Cross Reference" submenu. This will remove all port cross-references from the current project.
Alternative Method (Main Menus):
While right-clicking is the most direct method, you can also access this function via the main menus, typically located at the top of the Altium Designer window. However, the exact menu path might vary slightly depending on your version of Altium. Look for options related to "Schematic" or "Tools" that contain "Port Cross Reference" functions. The right-click method is generally faster and easier to access.
Important Considerations:
- Project-Wide Change: Removing port cross-references affects the entire project.
- Re-enabling (If Necessary): If you need to re-enable port cross-referencing later, the option is usually alongside the removal option (e.g., "Add to Project").
