Hi,
I'm working on a project with several gschem-pages, based on an older,
existing schematic from someone else. I'm asked to add extra components
to these schematic pages, however while preserving the RefDes-numbering
of the older parts.
This presents the problem that autonumbering in one page is not aware of
the numbering in other pages, so new components tend to get numbers that
are already in use in other pages, which is only signalled when I import
them into PCB.
Is there a way to make gschem aware of all existing pages in a project?
Obviously, merely having those pages opened in the Page Manager doesn't
do the trick. I saw some references to defining a hierarchy and
sub-schematics, but I'm not sure if that is what I need (also, the wiki
page seems broken: wiki.geda-project.org/geda:hierarchy).
I'd say it should be as simple as enumerating all project .sch files in
one place, but I can't find anything like this.
TIA,
Richard
