Possible to create multiple copies of a schematic symbol with only one board instantiation?

Any thoughts on this ?

Do you understand Eagles use of gates in library parts?

If not read the documentation on creating library parts consisting of

gates. In that way you get one component on the board and as many

schematic portions as you desire that are within that one board component.

Dear Warren,

Yes, I do understand the use of gates.

I tried to whip up a quick example picture with Eagle/Photoshop to make my question easier to understand.

Perhaps this is possible with gates (i.e. two schematic portions both containing reference to the same pins-- a reference to pin 'A' say, on both portions) but I am not sure that I have seen it done before ?

Using your example, simply place wires instead of pins on the symbol that

does not have the connected pin. That wire on that symbol is just a drawing

and Eagle will not expect a logical connection.

I have attached an example of what I suggested earlier.

Dear Warren,

Sorry, maybe it is something on my end... but I don't seem to see an attachment ?

Warren is, I think, an EagleCentral user. You are an Element14'er. I use

NNTP to the primary source. The propagation of attachments between the

three portals isn't always reliable. I did see the attachment, and I'd

assume www.eaglecentral.ca also shows it, but not Element14.

Hi Anthony

The Element14 site is a very bad attempt by E14 to access the Cadsoft

NNTP. It has many problems, one of which is the attachments at NNTP and

Eagle Central aren't gathered up with the postings.

EagleCentral is a very good web front end to the NNTP which I use when

away from my main PC. I also go there when I'm searching the forums

although you need to search via google when looking for phrases. That

could be fixed.

If you monitor the forums daily the best solution is a newsreader to the

NNTP.

Here is the link to the thread at EagleCentral so you can grab the

Oh, I see. Yes now it worked. Thanks for the help, I didn't realize this was an off-shoot portal.

Best,
