I'm not sure if cadsoft has implemented the copy/paste for sch+layout at
last.
I'm talking about duplicate a section of a schematic without loose the
placement and routing information.
Reading through the new features doesn't help me.
Do we still need to do the nasty workaround of closing schematic and
capture one at time to fool the fb annotation?

Hi Marco,
Use the Paste from... feature which was implemented in V6. This is why
you upgraded to v6.
This feature allows you to import a consistent schematic/board pair into
your current design. It does require you to have a version of EAGLE that
will allow for more than one schematic sheet.

Maybe you should mention that this "Paste from..." item is available in
the "Edit" menue (or whatever name it is in english) only. Also the help
shows imo little way to find it.

it has a lot of bugs, why?

The possibility to reuse my layout is why I upgraded to V6. By the way it
has a lot of bugs, why?

You can try the Renumber Sheet ULP and start the renumbering at 100, 200, or
whatever is necessary to insure that there is no overlap of designators. You
still have to close and open the files just as before (and keep your fingers
crossed).
I haven't tried this with ver.6 but it worked with ver.5 when I needed to
combine two projects into one PCB.
