Copy Sheet

The Copy Sheet dialog allows you to create a new sheet in the design by copying a specified sheet. It is launched by right-clicking a circuit, definition block or sheet in the Design Tree panel, and selecting Copy Sheet on the assist menu. Alternatively, click a circuit, definition block or sheet in the Design Tree panel, and type Ctrl + C. The Copy Sheet dialog is displayed when you type Ctrl + V to paste the copied sheet.

 

Note
  • You cannot copy an open sheet.
  • Copied sheets are not automatically checked for duplicate reference designator values.
  • To reorder, rename or delete multiple sheets, launch the Sheet Reorder dialog from the Design Tree panel, when the relevant sheets are closed.
