Since some days I am thinking about splitting a large pcb board into two parts to fit it in a case. I think total size of pcb will be 20cm*30cm (schematics is 18 pages, I pointed to it some days ago), I want to split it into two parts each 15cm*20cm. (One pcb analog part, other digital.) But I am not sure how to do this split best.
I may do it in the schematic or pcb level. I think I should do it in the pcb level, because it is a low-level decision, not related to abstract schematics. On schematics level I may create an additional sheet with an connector and connect the related signals to this connector. Then I can run gsch2pcb two times, one time with all digital sheets and this connector sheet, and one time with all remaining sheet and this connector sheet. But I have to know which signals I have to transfer from one board to the other in advance. I would prefer to do this on pcb level, having two sub-boards (each with a connector for carrying signals to the other one) on one screen/display. Can I insert these connectors inside of pcb program and mark corresponding pins as connected (i.e. insert ratsnest lines)? Any ideas or examples?
