Adding a schematic sheet KiCad 7.0


 

开云体育

Is is possible to add a second schematic sheet, not a hierarchical sheet, to a project?? I use KiCad to draw schematics for diagrams in reports, and this particular project requires two quite large schematics that each take up a whole page. I suppose I could just open a new project, but if I can keep all the stuff together in one project, it would be better.


 

I don't think it is as far as I know. I think additional schematic
sheets can only be added as 'sub-sheets' below the 'main' one.

I wish you could use sheets, but the best I've been able to do is make up a bogus "root" sheet that's never used and then you can have sheets under it.? Messy, but works.

Thanks for prompt replies. I'll create a new project.

Hi


That is what I do on most of my projects.

But I don't see it has a "bogus root sheet", for me it works more like a "block diagram" of my project; and it really helps me organize things like cabling between? multiple boards, multiple power sources or voltages, and some other details alike...


Best regards and a good 2024

Jorge
