Thanks for the link. So far, when I do the final step, "complex to simple",
it still creates a drawing similar to what I would have created by just
copying the desired section of the schematic - with the same designators
duplicated (U2 is U2 in both sub-sheets now). And when I create the
netlist, I don't see the second CPU in the list - that is, the original CPU
is U2 and I see that defined and references to it. But there is no U2_1 or
such created in the netlist. In fact it seems to not know that the new
"duplicate" sheet exists.

I am not sure if this is relevant to what you are trying to do
specifically... But if I remember correctly the reference to Complex
hierarchy in the manual actually refers to the way it worked in 98... I
don't have my manual handy to check.
Either way... if you haven't looked at this KB article you may want to give
it a glance. It describes Complex hierarchy and the way the complex to
simple function works in 99 and 99SE.
