"stamping" repetitive circuit. possible?

Former Member

Hello, I was designing a schematic that had a repetitive pattern (two

transistors and 5 resistors) used in 6 outputs.

 

I designed once and cut/pasted the others, fine with that but...

 

I was thinking if is possible to draw a small circuit inside a box, in

my schematic, name it like "power output" and just "stamp" (draw) a

small box where needed but when I opened the board designer all the

parts belonging to these box should appear.

 

Is it possible?

 

TIA

    Hi,

     

    Probably you could try out by creating a new library. For, the symbol

    you could draw the circuit or just a box which will help you recognize

    what part it is. And for the package, draw footprints of the two

    transistors and the 5 resistors you intend to use and combine all to

    make one package. So, on the schematic when you place the symbol, the

    entire footprint would show up on the board.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jaya
