How do I handle multiple schematics with one board file in Eagle?

Former Member

Hello,

 

I use the hobby version of Eagle where you can use multiple schematics.

I want to have several schematics (.sch) files and only one (.brd) file.

 

power.sch

mounthole.sch

button.sch

mcu.sch

analog.sch

 

And these should be linked to a pcb file called gadget.brd

 

When I start the first step by creating the mounthole.sch and want that to transfer to my gadget.brd file Eagle create a new .brd file called mounthole.brd.

 

I have found several tutorials on how to use Eagle with a single schematic and a single board file but none on how to use multiple .sch files.

 

Is there any one here that can recomend a tutorial on this?

Is there any one here that can give me advice on how to do this?

 

Regards

    Hi Niklas,

     

    I would put the schematics on separate sheets in a single schematic.

    Then they are all separate and linked to one board.

    Would this work for you?

    Yes this work.

    Thanks.

     

    Info for other users:

    When a schematic is open you have a dropdown box at the top of the schematic saying [1/1]

    There you can add another schematic (by selecting "new") and then the box will say [1/2].

    Are you trying to have five boards all on one panel?

     

    Or are you trying to make a five-sheet schematic for one board?

     

    If you're trying to make a multiple-sheet schematic, just use multiple

    sheets!
