Creating and Editing Multi-sheet
Designs
A schematic can contain one or more pages. As a
schematic grows beyond a single page, ports are used to
establish connectivity. Off-page ports provide
connectivity between pages of the same schematic. Global
ports provide connectivity across schematic pages to other
global ports of the same name, anywhere in the schematic
hierarchy. Off-page and global ports are named the same
as the nets that they are connected to.
The Navigate menu allows you to move between pages in
multi-sheet designs and provides the means to create new
pages, copy pages from other schematics, delete pages,
and give each page a title.
Adding a Page to a Design
There are two ways to add additional pages to your
schematic: (1) creating a new page, or (2) copying a page
from the current schematic or another schematic.
Creating a new page
1 From the Navigate menu, select Create Page to display
the Create Page dialog box.
2 Type a title for the new page in the Page Title text box.
3 You can accept the next sequential number as the page
number for the new page or type in a different
number.
4 Click OK to add the new page.
