Well, I suppose that will work if I make many separate cards with no interconnection. But in this case I want to connect the repeated pattern to different tracks on the main board. I don't know how to name the nets or how to make them connectable.
The illustrations may help to explain the issue: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/photos/album/1407660911/pic/list (photos => album:yeshe66 ) Cn is actually 12 different tracks - C1 to C12. Similar for Sn and MUXn. GND is GND and is the same for all twelve modules. And I want to make 12 copies of "input filter" routing and connect them to the 13-pin connector as well as the 44 pin IC. --- In [email protected], Andy Eskelson <andyya...@...> wrote: > > Design it once, then create a new PCB and append the design into it > as many times as you need. > File > Append board > > Andy > > > On Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:56:41 -0000 > "yeshe66" <yesh...@...> wrote: > > > I am going to make a board with 12 identical circuits mounted in a row, > > then connected to one IC (and in the other end, to a 13-pin terminal > > block).
