6.5. Sheet symbol

Draw a rectangle defined by two diagonal points symbolizing the sub-sheet.

The size of this rectangle must allow you to place later particular labels, hierarchy pins, corresponding to the global labels (HLabels) in the sub-sheet.

These labels are similar to usual component pins. Select the tool .

Click to place the upper left corner of the rectangle. Click again to place the lower right corner, having a large enough rectangle.

You will then be prompted to type a file name and a sheet name for this sub-sheet (in order to reach the corresponding schematic, using the hierarchy navigator).

You must give at least a file name. If there is no sheet name, the file name will be used as sheet name (usual way to do that).
