Additional Information

By default, Layout XL displays a hierarchical name for the flattened instances. The hierarchical name includes both the original name of the instance and the name it gets after flattening. The two names, however, are separated using a pipe separator (|), in the format:

<original instance name> | <instance name after flattening>

A hierarchical name for the flattened instances makes it easier to identify instances that have been flattened.
