2. On the Schematic Design toolbar, click Connect > Port .

3. In the Port dialog, select the direction for the port: io (default), nc, in, out, oc, pwr, pas, or hiz.

4. Click the module instance.

5. Move the port to the desired position and click to place it.

6. In the Select dialog, do one of the following:

   • Select an existing net from the module to export that net with the new port.
