I want to have multiple components in the same layout on a board. I have a PCB module with them laid out and a Schematic Module but I cannot link them together. This is the project https://easyeda.com/Rozakiin/UK_Pad-966553d8565446ef9672db967cf00d71
I have forked your project,
https://easyeda.com/Rozakiin/UK_Pad-966553d8565446ef9672db967cf00d71
then if I update a component in the schematic and then press `Update PCB...` in the schematic or `Import Changes...` in the PCB then that update is passed into the PCB.
Is there some other behaviour that you expect to occur?
Can you explain more about `but I cannot link them together`?
I don't understand what you mean by `link them together`.
Thanks.
@andyfierman I was hoping there was a way for the resistors and diodes to be in a specific place in relation to each switch rather than needing to place them all individually
When you convert a Schematic to a PCB the components are all placed in a group in one corner just outside default board outline (which is calculated based on the component areas plus an allowance for the routing and a board edge clearance).
There is no automatic distribution of packages into the board area. That all has to be done manually.
Oh, man I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to do exactly what Rozakin was asking.
PCB layout that is only good for a none schematic based PCB isn't what I had hoped for.
I have this same problem, and posted a reply to this:

This seems like a significant missing feature of the program. When using Schematic/PCB modules, they should be linkable. So,placing the schematic correctly updates the other like a Library.
