z7.3 Updating and Closing a Compound Block
As long as a compound block is edited its instances in other schematics are not updated. To reflect all editing
changes to these instances the compound block must be saved. This is done by the Update Instances item of
the Compound menu.
Windows displaying compound blocks are closed by the Close item of the Compound menu. If the com-
pound block was changed and not saved a message box appears asking if it should be saved. After closing the
compound block the window disappears.
