Complex Hierarchy

PhilR787
PhilR787 over 1 year ago

When linking a hierarchical block to an external .dsn file, and then using multiple occurrences of that block (complex hierarchy), there doesn't seem to be a way to independently change the sheet numbers in each occurrence of the title block.

Bottom line is that I can't create intersheet references because all of the occurances have the same sheet number.

    I'm using OrCad 17.2.  Has this been addressed in later versions?

    From what I have tested, this doesn't seem to be an issue with later versions but this isn't an exhaustive test and you might want to check that the Title Blocks are annotated for the external pages in your case. Annotating external hierarchical blocks was addressed at some point, not sure when exactly, but It's possible that your 17.2 version doesn't handle this. Also 17.2 is well past end of life so you should consider getting a later version.
