Duplicating groups of components workflow
485 4

Hey everyone, What's your workflow when you need to duplicate sections of your PCB? For example, I have a 555 timer circuit and I want to duplicate it multiple times on the PCB. To build the first I do the following: * Draw the 555 schematic * Convert to PCB * Sort all the components * Route everything Now the challenge - sorting all the components takes (a lot) of time. Is my only option to copy the circuit in the schematic, export to PCB and do the sorting and connections again? Cheers!

Thanks Andy! Do I have to create a separate project for each module? Is it also possible to save sections of an existing schematic and PCB?

You create the modules just by doing Save As on a schematic or PCB so you can do it all in one project. Open a new (temporary) schematic or PCB. Copy and paste the bits of schematic or PCB that you want to be defined as a module into it (or clone the schematic or PCB and delete everything except what you want on the module) then do Save As > Module. The modules then go in to the public(!) Library under Schematic or PCB Modules in the Library. Then you just place them into a new sheet like a component symbol or footprint, where you want them. Once they are saved as modules you can delete the temporary schematics and PCBs. You may also find this extension helpful to modify the net names: [https://github.com/ppeetteerrs/EasyEDA-Tools](https://github.com/ppeetteerrs/EasyEDA-Tools)
