Orcad Project -> more PCB schematics possible?

Hi

 

I am working on a bigger project where I need to produce several PCB boards. I created a new project within I build the schematics. Now I would like to produce one Board after the other. Unfortunatelly I don't get the DRC and netlist function working?

 

Is it possible to design more psb Boards within one project? Or do I need to split them to there own project. 

I am also getting this strange error message all the time.

 Thanks for help!

    Yes, you can have more than one board within one project.  Additional boards would be 'schematic' - currently you have only SCHEMATIC1.  Create a new schematic by right clicking on dsn file name (I think) and select New Schematic...this will be a new folder.  Pages can be added to this new schematic as usual.  To switch between schematics, right click on the schematic (folder) > select Make Root

     Hey Thanks!

     

    That's the information I needed. I always created several pages (PCBs) in the Schematic1 folder and was wondering about all the DRC and Netlisting errors. 1 Schematicfolder = 1 PCB Board - it's just as easy as this.

    Hi 

    When we have multiple schematics for multiple boards, can we create intersheet references for each board? When I create intersheet reference through Tools->Annotate , it creates intersheet references for only the root schematic. Can you let me know, how we can add intersheet references for each schematic in a multiple schematic configuration?

     Hi Vaki,

    Select the schematic which you want to annotate in a multiple schematic configuration.

    Then goto Tools-->Annotate...

    In the annotate diaglog box,under Packaging tab,select the scope as "Update Selection" instead of "Update Entire Design".

    This will updare only the scehmatic which you selected.

    Thanks

    Hi Velu,

    Though, In my multiple schematic configuration. Tools-->Annotate... In the annotate diaglog box,under Packaging tab, the scope with "Update Selection" and  "Update Entire Design" is disabled when I select the add intersheet reference . 

    Thanks
