Does anyone else use this method for keeping top sheets clean in 99SE?
See screenshot http://www.proteluser.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=71#post71
If you look at net labels HA[0..18], HD[0..15] and HA20/HA21/WE0 you will see that I have added additional sheet entries of the same name while using only a single port on the child sheet.
Sort of a one (child sheet) to many (parent sheet) and it seems to work fine.
Well, I don't use that method. For one reason, it makes it less clear which bus goes where.
But Importing this to 2004 and compile, the compiler does not like this at all. I tried creating the same number of sheet entries as the sheet symbol has but it seems 2004 will choke on same name items.
Apparently 2004 gets confused too.....
I have been given today the task of translating some more 99SE designs which have between 20-40 sheets and it seems this small workaround has come back to bite me. If anyone has any ideas on a workaround to save redrawing the top sheets 'ugly' then please let mw know.
I make branches in buses using bus entries and specify what bus members are in each branch using net labels; if the bus goes two places with all its members I use a junction and label each section.
That way the clutter is minimal and it is always clear which bus goes where with what members.
