This fixes many net name conflicts with multiple sheets.ĭid this help? Sign up below to be the first to hear about the next Altium Productivity Hack.

Change your component naming convention to $Component_$ChannelPrefix$ChannelIndex.

This controls what page number it will be when you create a schematic pdf in an outjob, where you have re-used the same sheet in the same project. – Tools / Annotation / Annotate Compiled Sheets – this changes the page numbers in the project definition. – In AD17, the menus were Tools / Annotation / Number schematic sheets – this changes the page numbers in the schematic files themselves

Number all your pages, both pre-compiled and compiled:.With a schematic doc in the project open, check the “Append sheet number to local nets” in Project / Project Options, then Options tab.The following is a recipe to get your design set up for the best design re-use. One of the reasons that I switched to Altium back in 2007 was the promise of being able to set up a complicated circuit with net rules, PCB directives, and controlled impedance, and not have to replicate that work for every channel. If you choose the wrong one, some of the more advanced features that lured you to Altium may not work. In Altium Designer, there are many ways to set up your project for hierarchical design. “Why do I have multiple net names that are the same once I import my design to the PCB editor?” In this post we’ll give a quick introduction to hierarchical schematic design, what it is, and how it can help you better organize your projects. The schematic editor allows flat, hierarchical and mixed topology designs, design reuse, and numerous productivity accelerators including Smart Paste. “Why do I need unique net names across all my sheets?” Effectively you draw multiple schematics (each counted as one sheet) and then you have one top-level sheet that connects them all together.
