Create 2 / multiple PCBs from single schematic.

[hans.wegerzynsten]

I'm trying for the first time the electronics workflow and can't find info how to create 2 connected PCBs.

After I create a PCB from the design it has all the components from both sheets and I can't add another PCB from project.

Hello @hans.wegerzynsten ,

I hope you're doing well. This is currently not possible. As of right now, the electronics design file can only map one board to one schematic. You can reuse the same schematic as the basis for multiple layouts but it's not currently possible to separate one schematic into multiple PCBs.

This is a long standing request, but I'll add your comments to the existing ticket.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi @hans.wegerzynsten , 

Thanks so much for your time on the forum! @jorge_garcia is totally right here in that it's not functionality today. For now, unfortunately two separate electronics designs need to be created. However, I agree that this is a super important workflow and gap we have in the product today. I'd love to jump on a quick call to discuss your thoughts about this workflow & what aspects or requirements are most important to you. For everyone else, this is an open invitation to this thread to DM me on this topic! But I'll send you a quick DM to see if we can set up a call. 

I look forward to chatting - Best regards,

Melisa
