Combining Multiple Schematics in PADS

[kevinj]

I have two separate schematics each in a separate file. I want to combine those two schematics into one new schematic. I tried exporting the two files and then manually combining it into a new file, then importing that into PADS. however i'm getting errors and with components being deleted. is there a (better) way of combining the scematics?

thanks

hai,

open both schematic files first. then you select the circuit (with/whith out sheet )and make it as a group. then copy to file and gave a name and save. then open another file and insert a new sheet, then open edit and paste from file.

There shouldn't be the same references in both schematics. You chek and fix. Later you can import two schematics on PADS at once.

Pls try to merge these two schematics and export the netlist first, then compare the .asc file with the current pcb file. See what happen

Thats gud.

hai,

In PADS it won't accept to duplicate the refferance designators. Automatically it takes the next no. But it won't repeat.

first open those two schematis and open another new schematic page do copy past from both pages to new schematic page .but you have to put refdes manually
