Selecting components from one occurrence out of 14 in the Property Editor

Fredda

I have a hierarchical design with 14 occurrences of an instance. I want to assign all components in one occurrence to a specific ROOM, that is, setting the ROOM property of all components in one occurrence to for example AD1, and the components in another occurrence to for example AD2 etc. How can I do that in the Property Editor in an easy way?

When selecting all components in the schematic page and opening the Property Editor I cannot find a way to select only the components belonging to one occurrence, which means that I need to manually edit the ROOM property for every component in every occurrence. With 100 components in the schematic page that equates to 1400 edits...

  • Left-click to select the Schematic folder in the Project Manager, Edit>Browse>Parts from the menu, left-click the Schematic heading to sort by Schematic name, left-click on the first entry for the block to edit and shift+left-click on the last entry for the block to edit, press control+E (or Edit>Properties from the menu), locate the Room property, set the first value cell, select and control+C that cell value, left-click the column heading to select the whole column, control+V to paste all the values, left-click>OK to accept. Left-click the Schematic heading to sort by Schematic again and select the components for the next block. Repeat until all of the blocks have been edited.
