    Hi,

    If you do not want to create a combined netlist of all the folders, then that means these folders have no relation with each other from the design/Board perspective. (As per my understanding - that is why you are not calling folders like S1-S7 in MB root schematic). 

    If you still feel the need to keep these folders in the same project (and create netlist separately for each folder), then I suggest the following -

    Create netlist for with MB as ROOT > Once, this is done, RMB on S1 in project manager and select "Make Root".

     Now create netlist with S1 as root. (Similarly do it from S2 to S7).Hence, creating 8 different Netlists and Boards. However, a better solution would be to create 8 different projects for 8 folders (as they seem to be not related).

    In case the term "sub-boards" was meant to refer the ability to reuse a pre-designed schematic in new schematic and Board, then please refer to - https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/pcb-design/f/capture-cis/50801/redrawing-a-circuit-is-a-thing-of-past

    Good LuckThumbsup

    Noted with thanks.

    I have tried your method but annotation was an issue because I was not able to annotate properly there were issues relating to Update Occurrences and Instances.

    I decided to create 8 different project to cater for the proper annotation and also the creation of netlist. This method works as per wanted.
