Look at the bottom, I have four sheets, and I have copied the original circuit to all four(trust me)
Now, I want to make four duplicates of this same circuit with the above mentioned numbering scheme so I create three more sheets and copy the circuit to ALL OF THE OTHER SHEETS!! This is a really dumb way to do this, but it worked, so Keep reading it will make sense. The trick is to add a 'spare' or 'temporary' schematic sheets as a place where you can do all of this as DipTrace makes changes on a global basis. Ok, like you said you have several 'channels' that you are duplicating the circuit and you want to make specific numbering to associate that part to that 'channel' lets use my relay/transistor/resistor circuit in the example. Use SMD components for the IC's, capacitors resistors etc and put them on both sides of the PCB(suggestion only)Īfter thinking about your last post, I think I finally know what you want to do, and there is no way DipTrace can EASILY do this, but I do know a back door approach that does work so bear with the long post. Now select SHEET2 and pick a spot in the new sheet and RIGHT click and select paste:Īnd you can see that all the components have new reference designators on sheet 2. Transistors are Q4 and Q5.you get the idea, so SELECT all of them as shown, RIGHT click and select COPY If you look in this picture the relays are labeled K2.1 and K2.3 and K3.1 and K3.2. I am building on your two sheet schematic for this example. Select all the components you want to copy to the new circuit. Ok, so you have two channels and you want to save yourself the hassle of re-drawing? (i think) then all you do is the following: Not quite sure what you mean by this, but I can try. What I will try to do is shorten the distances between parts as much as I can, and use multipin connectors on board A and board B to accomplish that. But this time the front plate will be much more populated with mechanical parts, which will leave little space to design the rest of the circuit around it. The ideal thing would be to put everything in the vertical plate, as I did it on another project of mine. Some mechanical parts, like pots, switches, jacks, leds, will be placed on the vertical board. I'm trying to do that and failing.Īnother question: the project will use two boards, one horizontal and one vertical. On circuit A the parts start at 101, and on circuit B they should start at 201.
I have already duplicated the circuit, but I do (probably incorrectly) the Renumbering by selecting all parts, but nothing happens. What happens if I need to duplicate the circuit, just changing the parts names, because I have two channels? Can that be done by the program or do I have to change them manually? Apparently that should de done with RefDes Renumbering (according to the tutorial).
Thanks, I have seen how to do it using the same file.
