6.3. Local, hierarchical and global labels

6.3.1. Properties

Local labels, tool icons/add_line_label_png, are connecting signals only within a sheet. Hierarchical labels (tool icons/add_hierarchical_label_png) are connecting signals only within a sheet and to a hierarchical pin placed in the parent sheet.

Global labels (tool Global label icon) are connecting signals across all the hierarchy. Power pins (type power in and power out) invisible are like global labels because they are seen as connected between them across all the hierarchy.

Note

Within a hierarchy (simple or complex) one can use both hierarchical labels and/or global labels.
