Altium OffSheet connector poorly docummented

[Gregory]

Hello guys!

I was working on a project where I had multichannel outputs. So, I decided to use hierarchical Alitum project where I could easily repeat the output blocks.

One of my subcircuits I had to split in three sheets for organization and readability.
As the three sheets were about the same subcircuit I used offsheet connectors.

This way I could mantaing the horizontal connection between the sheets of the subcircuit.

The problem was that I got a lot of compiling errors and I was very hard to debug. I lost more than one day reading about offsheet connection and didn`t understand what was happing.
So, I dicovered in some forum that on a hierarchical project the offsheet connectios get connected only if on the top sheet you instantiete all related sheet separated by comma on a single block, like the image below.



All the sheets separated by comma can be connected horizontaly with offsheet connectors.

Why this is so poorly documented on altium documentation?

I quickly browsed now and could not even find where I discovered this.

I've never seen that before.  It actually works!?

This works inexplicably well!

Using in this manner I have horizontal connections with a hierarchical project, woderful!
I think that this give the offsheet connectors a real use.

I can`t understand why this is so poorly documented. I can`t find it in the Altium web help pages.

That functionality is actually documented believe it or not.

All the way at the bottom.

Yep! There is!

It's documented on the sheet pages.

Not on the connectivity pages, bravo!
