Report of signals connected to a component

Hello people,
If my schematic has a large pin count MCU and I want a report or listing of all of the signals connected to the MCU, can Altium generate this? Perhaps a portion of the netlist that is specific to nets that connect to the MCU?

It depends a bit on what you want to do.
First of, perhaps the Navigator can do what you want.
- Validate the project
- In the navigator panel select flattened hierarchy
- In the instance, select the component
- Open to the pin(s) you want to see connections to
- At the bottom in the Net pins section you see all the connections (pins, ports, netnames, sheet entries) to which it is connected.
Alternatively I did make a script years ago that creates a human readable connection list as Altium was also used for electric wiring.
But that scripts lists all nets and is a per net basis.
