However, normally if you want to reuse the same layout blocks, then you create a library part to encompass multiple items. Hierarchical schematics may be a bit different, since the blocks may have different layout design. BTW, we sometimes actually have to flat hierarchical schematics into normal ones since it is easier for the viewers of the schematics, this is especially true for not-so-complicated designs. Personally I also avoid the use of bus when it is not really a bus. For example, if a design has 8 channels of similar blocks, I actually prefer to copy 8 times the designs and not try to use hierarchy. And I will avoid to use Bus for the signals in this case. In this case, you may need more pages for the schematics but then it is less error-prone. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
