6.1 Flat Multi-sheet Design
In many instances circuit designs are too large to fit all components on a single sheet or for
logical reasons it’s easier to think of a circuit design if it is divided. In this case, you can use
Multicap’s Flat Multi-sheet Design feature. This allows you to place off-page connectors
between different sections of your circuit.
To add another sheet to a circuit:
1. Select
Place/Multi-Page. The Page Name dialog box displays.
2. Enter the desired name and click
OK. A blank circuit appears with the name that you
entered above.
3. Place components and wire the circuit as desired.
4. Select
Place/Connectors/Off Page Connector. A “ghost” image of an off-page connector
displays attached to your mouse pointer.
5. Drag the “ghost” image to the desired location and click to place the connector. Repeat for
any other required off-page connectors.
6. Wire the off-page connectors into the circuit.
7. Save the file and return to the main circuit window.
8. Select
Place/Connectors/Off Page Connector. A “ghost” image of an off-page connector
displays attached to your mouse pointer.
9. Drag the “ghost” image to the desired location and click to place the connector. Repeat for
any other required off-page connectors.
10.Wire the off-page connectors into the main circuit.
Caution To achieve a connection between a point in the main circuit
and a point in another page, the name of the off-page
connector in the main circuit must be the same as in the other
page. For example, “OffPage1” in the main circuit, will be
connected to “OffPage1” in the other (flat) page.
