The right way to go with Place Replicate

Fredda
Fredda over 4 years ago

What is the "right way" to go with Place Replicate? Is there a preferred workflow when using Place Replicate?

I've only seen tutorials/videos on how to use them in the PCB Editor, but it seems more logical to define a Replicate Module in the schematics instead of clicking and selecting symbols in the PCB editor. Can that be done?

Also, how can I view existing Replicate Modules? I get the below message when trying to create a place replicate module. Is there an editor where I can edit existing modules?

    I posted 2 pdfs below, I had to break it into 2 parts due to the upload size restrictions.  I hope this helps.

    I prefer creating a modular design based on the schematic, been doing design work that way for over 10 years.  However it is not an easy process the first time you do it.
