Add Existing Design to New Design?

[crgmakes]

Hello everyone. I have a number of pre-built modules that I need to combine into one design and create a single PCB mother board for. I have the schematics and PCB boards for each of the modules and I want to "import" them into a single design so I can accurately represent the physics layout of the modules on the mother board. In "regular" Fusion I would just say "insert in to current design", but electronics does not seem to have that ability. I tried to explore "referencing" the designs, but I seem to be limited to a single reference.

Is there any way to reference a number of other designs in a project? Or is there some way to turn the pre-existing designs into a new template or design block or something? 

The way Autodesk has integrated Eagle into the Fusion ecosphere is completely non-sensical to me.

Any suggestions?

Hello @crgmakes,

I hope you're doing well. In the PLace menu, you'll see the option to Insert Electronic Design. The design as inserted does not maintain a reference to the original design, it's a copy. That should cover what you need though.

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

Best Regards,

Thanks Jorge - I stumbled across your solution about 5 mins after I posted. Thanks for the feedback!
