Oh, I see. I wanted to use multiple sub-sheets because each part of the circuit that gets replicated is fairly complex. I was looking for a shortcut in handling the complexity and trying to follow the DRY principle (Don't Repeat Yourself).
Can this be handled as a library component (a container of other stuff) that hides the complexity? --jlf ________________________________ From: Andy Eskelson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 8:06:30 AM Subject: Re: [kicad-users] Hierarchy - how to replicate the sub-sheet in the root? I can't quite understand what you are trying to do... You can create a circuit (or part of) and then select it and then use the other block commands on the right click context menu to make and place a copy of what you have selected. Sheets are different beasts, you have to make connections via named connections between sheets, so you cannot simply duplicate a sheet, the names would get confused to say the least.
