My design is composed of two identical sections, so
I tried to use modules schematic/pcb to duplicate a part of my design.
I created schematic/pcb modules from a design of one section, then
I placed duplicate modules in schematic and pcb in a new project.
The components were renamed correctly both on schematic and pcb,
Unfortunately all the tracks on PCB kept the old nets.
For example:
the track connecting pin 5 of U1 and R1 on the first section of the design has a net name U1_5,
when placing the second section U1 becomes U2, R1 becomes R11 which is correct,
but the track connecting pin 5 of U2 to R11 has still U1_5 as net name on the PCB.
Of course the ratlines indicate clearly that the second section is incorrectly wired.
What went wrong here ? Is there any method to replicate pcb modules correctly ?
Any idea ?
Thanks
