Using Multi-part Component across different sheets

Hello Everyone,

 I have some doubts about multipart components.

I want to access my multipart component across different sheets and I want it to be referenced as single package when converting to PCB 

Can anyone suggest way to do this?

 

Is there any forums post or document which can be referenced for understanding everything about Modules?

Hi @deepak_elango 

 

there are library components defined that consist of several symbols. These so-called gates can be placed individually (depending on the Addlevel set in the Component Editor) in the schematic. They can be distributed over several sheets. 

 

So, please use the Place Component panel to add the first gate of a component. As long as you stay on the same schematic sheet you can add one gate after the other.
As soon as you go to another sheet in the schematic, you have to use the so-called INVOKE command which is accessible in the Design / Modify menu.

Activate the command and type the component's name in the command line (or click on one gate of the component in case there is already one placed).  A menu will show up now that allows to select non-used gates of the component. 

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Richard Hammerl

This is working for sheet's but when I try to Invoke a component inside a Module it was not accessible

Hello @deepak_elango,

 

I hope you're doing well. You can't split components across modules, this is a limitation of the hierarchy implementation.

 

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

 

Best Regards,
