multiple schematic for the same footprint : altium

[salemINCEPT]

hello

how can i attach the same footprint to multiple schematic for the same component i'm using multiple schematic sheet and i need to use the same component in diffrent sheets
thank you

What?

If you place the same component on different sheets, it will have the same footprint, right? Maybe you need to restate your question.

You don't attach a footprint to a schematic, it's attached to the component.

You have to use the option for editing multiple parts in schematic at once, according the selected characteristics, as described in section Editing Group Objects of this document :

An addition to Barry's remark:

Whem dealing with schematic sheets, the usual terminology to call the components symbols is refering to them as "parts", not exactly "components".

ï'm using a part with 300 pins in each sheet i want to use maximum 30 pins . that's why each time i'm using different schematic to connect this part with other parts . however i'm afraid that when i do the rooting altium will consider that each schematic does not represent the same footprint for my part
thank you all

So, what you REALLY have is a COMPONENT with multiple PARTS. This is unfortunate nomenclature, but that's what Altium uses.

As long as each part has the same reference designator, Altium will know that each part (or sub-part, if you will) is an element of a single component and uses a single footprint.

This is all related to how you initially created that multi-part component.

thank you so much that realy helped me i will give for each sub part the same default designator , i hope that will work
happy to be part of your forum community
