In many instances, designs are too large to fit all components on a single sheet or for logical reasons it's easier to think of a design if it is divided. In these cases, you can place additional pages at the same level as the original sheet.

  This function is hidden when the simplified version option is selected.

Complete the following steps to add another sheet to a design:

  1. Select Place»Multi-page. The Page Name dialog box displays.
  2. Enter the desired name and click OK. A blank design appears with the name that you entered above.
  3. Place components and wire the circuit as desired.
  4. Select Place»Connectors»Off-page connector. A “ghost” image of an off-page connector displays attached to your mouse pointer.
  5. Drag the “ghost” image to the desired location and click to place the connector.
  6. Optionally, double-click on the placed connector to display its dialog box, select the Label tab, and change the Name as desired.
  7. Place any other required off-page connectors as described above.
  8. Wire the off-page connectors into the circuit.

      When you attach an off-page connector to a wire, the net name for the wire that you connect it to does not change if it has a Preferred net name (user-assigned via the Net Properties dialog box). If the net name on the wire is auto-named, it changes to match the connector.

  9. Save the file and return to the main sheet.
  10. Select Place»Connectors»Off-page connector. A “ghost” image of an off-page connector displays attached to your mouse pointer.
  11. Drag the “ghost” image to the desired location and click to place the connector. Repeat for any other required off-page connectors.
  12. Wire the off-page connectors into the main sheet.

      To achieve a connection between a point on the main sheet and a point on another page, the name of the off-page connector on the main sheet must be the same as in the other page. For example, OffPage1 in the main sheet, will be connected to OffPage1 in the other page.
