6.2.6.1 Replacing Components with a SC
To replace a section of a schematic with a SC:
1. In the workspace, select the desired components and nets.
2. Select
Place/Replace by Subcircuit. The Subcircuit Name dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name you wish to use for the subcircuit and click
OK. The selection is replaced
by a SC symbol that is correctly wired into the circuit.
6.2.7 Viewing Parent Sheet
When you are viewing a subcircuit or hierarchical block you can quickly move to its parent
sheet by using the procedure that follows. This is particularly useful when you have many
circuits open at once.
To view an active subcircuit or hierarchical block’s parent, select
View/Parent Sheet.
Note This command will move you to the next circuit upwards in the hierarchy. If you have
multiple nested circuits and are viewing , for example, a subcircuit within a subcircuit,
you will not move to the top of the hierarchy.
6.3 Renaming Component Instances
The Rename Component Reference Designators dialog box is used to rename/renumber
components to, for example, eliminate gaps in numbering. This should be done just before the
circuit is exported to PCB layout.
The columns in the dialog box contain the following information:
•
RefDes Path — the path for the component. If the component is located on the main sheet
(that is, not in a subcircuit, hierarchical block, or multi-page, the path will only contain the
