Hiding interfaces in diagrams

In the New Diagram Template dialog box, the Hide Interface Shapes option indicates that interfaces are not displayed in diagrams based on the template.

When the diagram template is selected in the Create Diagram dialog box, the new diagram does not display shapes for interfaces that exist in the corresponding structure. Connection shapes are glued directly to the function or logical block shapes.

Warning: The Hide Interface Shapes option cannot be changed after the diagram template is created. A diagram without interface shapes cannot be changed to display interfaces.
