Subcircuits (redesignable)

True, but should we design a new component in library for every group we

consider to copy-paste?

What if I would like to change position of a component in that group?! Shall

I modify the library?! all instances of that group will be updated to the

new configuration. It's not ok.

and, ... for beginner seems odd and impractical

So: NO, there is no practical way to do that quick and easy.

Here is what I think could work:

 

Let's say your circuit is something that you have a well known layout for,

something that you can hand route without too much difficulty.  Then it is

a simple matter of creating this layout and drawing the pads and parts

outlines as a single package, defining a schematic symbol that's just a

black box with inputs and outputs, and connecting it all together as a

device.  Then you would have a "device" that would actually be made up of

several smaller parts, permanently linked as an object that can be moved,

rotated, mirrored, and so on.

 

I've never tried this before, but I would think it could easily be

accomplished and that it could work.

Hi,

 

is there a way to build sub circuits in Eagle?

I know about the duplicating script, but this would just create the

parts. Is there a way to group them together permanently to treat them

as one single part.

 

Thanks
