Redundant PCB Circuits From Single Schematic Circuit

Hello - I inherited a design that has a single circuit schematic and the circuit appears twice on the PCB.  I don't understand how that works - can someone please explain that? Here is the project: [https://easyeda\.com/editor\#id=01f89f7f242c488e8cab639ede9b6d02\|49246046ae6e4689842438ecdd2245a8\|a555b6781dd040678ed9a8fb0fb94e52\|f664b9485f584f4bac07384537551547](https://easyeda.com/editor#id=01f89f7f242c488e8cab639ede9b6d02|49246046ae6e4689842438ecdd2245a8|a555b6781dd040678ed9a8fb0fb94e52|f664b9485f584f4bac07384537551547) Thank you,

You can "Convert to PCB" tiwce. EasyEDA doesn't support Hierarchical design in one project yet.

Andy - I opened a new public roject and imported the Altium project again.  We put all schematics on one page: [https://easyeda\.com/editor\#id=ff693270c13846c680cc2c94da7717a8\|15774d93a50f4d39a5313e4cf504bfc2](https://easyeda.com/editor#id=ff693270c13846c680cc2c94da7717a8|15774d93a50f4d39a5313e4cf504bfc2)

I can send you the Altium source files or Altium ASCII export files if you want.

The schematic sheets (one blank, one with a schematic on it) in: [https://easyeda\.com/editor\#id=ff693270c13846c680cc2c94da7717a8\|15774d93a50f4d39a5313e4cf504bfc2](https://easyeda.com/editor#id=ff693270c13846c680cc2c94da7717a8%7C15774d93a50f4d39a5313e4cf504bfc2) do not convert to a PCB because there are a mixture of unassigned or incorrectly assigned packages: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/0448MFErVCYV9jUtxRzTdfHR4RLT4wj4SzYcndaP.png) The footprint manager and the red highlighted RCV1.P3_A prefix (in the schematic) seem to indicate that something has gone wrong with the Altium import process. It looks like some informative text or something has been incorrectly imported as schematic symbols and prefixes.

Thank you Andy - I did the File, Open, Altium, and chose import libs.   If I send you the Altium ASCII files, will you please try to import and see if you can get it to work? Or, I can send you the Altium source files if you want to tfry export/import.

@peternarbus Hi, if you extract libs when import, it only extract the schematic libs, not PCBlib, you must import and extract the PCBlibs first, and then import the schematic. so, you need to extract the libs when import the PCB first.

Hello - I deleted the project and and tried to reopen the Altium ASCII PCB file and get this message: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/oUqUpJjVTvu1DcOApu97xHDE39JCPX3VVXZrq722.png)

When I change the schematic and try to UPDATE PCB I get this message ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/wf1wKkvAcI6qgoA4vQU53qabp6ye0H17GDXtP9zX.png) When I select YES I get this error concering packages: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/Y12BRsmzVHEr2zFsDmegZQI0OYJimkWMZC1VUVYE.png)

@peternarbus, UserSupport said: "...you must import and extract the PCBlibs first, and then import the schematic." Assuming that you have access to the relevant files/libraries, have you followed these steps? Your latest results look the same as mine described above.

So, is this the process? Yes, These are the steps I used to import: 1.  Open, Altium..., select the Altium ASCII PCB file. 2.  Select Import File and Extract Libs: 3.  Select Import. ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/5TTA3uS1A69oqN9nYFyS0g063JheMYpQCr5icM3p.png) 3.  I get this window and then select, Add to Library: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/SPqL7vuxLY2WCAReCQvw4PsetOUlbTGB014EDEzt.png) I get this error: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/EHajq5ZvNDt4Wps85GwQINJJlXDbszW9yUTpnOMm.png) 4\. Select OK\, and the PCB is created\. 5.  1.  Open, Altium..., select the Altium ASCII Schematic file. 6.  Select Import File and Extract Libs: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/82dcTZExFq78okl86qwGy1FsNPiHekF2ugBKfZ8o.png) I get this window: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/pKO0XZ04M8TxRBIDvOLXpAsvo8rEI52SSMW2IgOV.png) 7.  I select, Add to Library. I get this error message: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/XF6yXQ2wVJ2pf8TzQWfpg1QFIqErAp6sar6SxJYw.png) 8.  I select, OK. and the schematic is created. When I save the project and Select Update PCB, I get this message: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/ZVDbQR59GxQOpa1mCOvZ5zOKI9cvMXJvd91JWdUl.png) 9.  I select, Yes.  And get this window: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/kLszfTLqONyHYchDMoYB0NlA0WxFIRwZZp4JZ0Hq.png) 10.  I select Check Packages, and get this error: ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/Wq1BGkL9U5zQM9cX2k0SBeNSNlD5tSdA8Vx8wilI.png) Can you please help me import this design?  I can send you the Altiun ASCII or source files to try to import yourself.  I have been trying to import this design for several days...  I would like to work on it using EASYEDA Thank you,

@UserSupport, Can you look at Peter's files and try import ING them?

@andyfierman Yes, I will help to check. @peternarbus Yes, your process is correct, can you send your Altium ASCII PCB and Schematic to [support@easyeda.com](mailto:support@easyeda.com) ? I will take a look. That seems the subpart issue.
