Design Reuse

Do we still need to do the nasty workaround of closing schematic and

capture one at time to fool the fb annotation?

It seems it doesn't work anymore. It messes up the part names and it

takes too long to rename manually each component.

I hope I didn't waste my money again

The possibility to reuse my layout is why I upgraded to V6. By the way

it has a lot of bugs, why?

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.

Jorge,

thank you very much for your answer.

I was able to import the sch/brd pair. I have a PRO license so no

problem about multiple sheets.

I didn't find this command because - as usual - cadsoft complicates

simple things... I was looking how to copy/paste a section of circuit

within the same file!

This solution works, but you have to create a separate project for each

section you want duplicate.

IMHO the best should be: select whatever you want and use a

"paste-with-layout" command. For example every word processor offers the

paste-with-format, paste-without-format, paste-plain-text...

Anyway thank you again
