To Create a Variable Group
1. Create a new groupshape with the following modifications.
2. In the artifact Properties dialog box, the Fix member identities check box must be cleared or you will not be able to define a variable group.
3. Place an instance for each type of member in the group. You cannot instance the same member more than once.
* 
When you are creating a connector with dual ports, you can instance the port twice in the same cell.
4. Insert parallel separation lines between, above, and below members. Use the construction lines in the Geometry tab to manually insert the separation lines, or automatically insert them using the Variable Group commands on the Catalog tab.
5. Click Close Sheet.
