Defining Stop Points on a Per-Cell Basis

In addition to a global stop list that applies to the entire configuration, you can specify stop points on individual cells. A stop point on a cell prevents the cell from being expanded when the hierarchy is expanded.

A stop point on a cell applies to all the instantiations of the cell.

To add a stop point to a cell,

1. Choose View – Parts Table.
2. In the Cell Bindings section, right-click the cell to which you want to add a stop point.
3. From the pop-up menu, select Add Stop Point.

The stop icon appears in the Info column of the cell row. All the instantiations of the cell now be considered leaf nodes in the hierarchy; none of them are expanded when the hierarchy is traversed.

Viewing the Cell Instantiations

To see a list of the instantiations to which the stop point applies,

1. In the Cell Bindings section, right-click the cell.
2. From the pop-up menu, select Explain.
   The Explain dialog box appears. The Instantiations section lists the instantiations of the cell. The stop point applies to all these instantiations.
