![]() ![]() Everything keeps linked with regular Designators. I did this as recommended, but I don't know yet if it's really necessary. Link the components using Project > Component Links > Add Pairs Matched by Designator on the integrated PCBdoc.Next add the whole schematic to the integration project and copy and paste special with Keep Net Name from the independent PCB into the integrated PCB.Then Design Update the independent PCB with this ? after all designators.Just select all components (Sch filter with IsPart) and write !+? into Designator field in Properties. In the other independent project of next board to be integrated: add "?" as a suffix after all designators on the Schematic.This project has already Schematics and a PCBdoc which will be my final integration PCB. I started re-using one individual project for integration.What I did is (starting with same layer stack individual PCBs): This is what I did based on the link I found. I would maybe re-annotate the schematics and PCBs with prefix (to get unique reference designators between different circuits) and then copy and paste everything into one project Maybe I would have a look at hierarchical structure and maybe channels and there may be a way how to place multiple different circuits into schematic the way the component designators will not be in conflict and that PCB can be simply re-use. When merging multiple circuits into one PCB, the biggest problem may be conflict between designators. We normally simply CTRL+C and CTRL+V the circuits and we re-do PCB layout on the one board. Multiple independent PCBs merge into one PCB: If you need to place multiple sub-circuits on 1 PCB, there may be more ways how to do it. Sometimes we do place multiple independent PCBs on one board, but some PCB manufacturers will still charge you for one PCB with multiple PCBs as multiple independent PCBs (even if you place them on 1 board). Multiple completely independent PCBs placed on 1 PCB: I would manufacture the independent PCBs as independent PCBs. I am not 100% sure what situations you are in, but there are usually two situations: ![]()
