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

Question

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?
