Compontent library best practice for inherited ports

[steven.gonzalez@caemilusa.com]

Im trying create a component library that has blocks with full port already defined. My question though is how can i add a nested proxy port to an inherited full port with out adding it to parent class.

My goal is to have full port define the physical connection (ie RJ45) and then later define the type of information passing through via the proxy port (ie vlan0,vlan1,etc)

A full port represents a part of your block that is at the boundary. Thus a full port will be typed by a block.
If the parent full port is defined, then it needs a block that types that full port (e.g. the Physical Connector block in the image).

To do that you can do the following:
1- create the specialization RJ45 block that inherits from the Physical connector.
2- create the proxy port on that RJ45
3- create the interface block that types that proxy port (e.g. Data IF)
4- create the Child block that inherits from your Parent block.
5- go to the Specification window of the Child block > go to the Ports/Interfaces section > select p1 port and
6- click on the redefine button below and change the type of p1 to RJ45.

Then you have it.
