I think Kicad is confusing two things - multi-page schematics and hierarchical schematics. In other tools (I use Allegro as well), they are different concepts.
Hierarchical schematics are useful when the design itself can be viewed that way; say a test instrument with a controller and 32 channels. There, you draw one channel's schematic and instantiate it 32 times. /mike > On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 11:53 PM, NeonJohn <[email protected]> wrote: > > I still don't see the utility of the hierarchical scheme.
