Do you use off sheet connectors in Altium?
I believe that off-sheet connectors are just a graphical variant of a port. They’re not normally used in Altium designs, but they might be used if you import a design from another program. This names a given net. The Net name is only valid in the scope of a sheet.
Which is better a port or an off-sheet connector?
Ports offer more features than Off-Sheet Connectors, including the ability to add Port Cross References, which adds a SheetName [GridReference] to each port, referring to a matching port on another sheet, as shown in the image below. There is no limit to the number of sheets in a flat design.
How is vertical connectivity defined in Altium Designer 21?
This type of connectivity is also referred to as vertical connectivity since the sheet-to-sheet connectivity that is created is only up and down between a parent sheet and its child sheet. In a hierarchical design, the net-level connectivity is from a Sheet Entry on the parent sheet down to a matching Port on the child sheet.
