Hi,

Still new to KiCAD.

I hope there's a simple solution to my rather simple problem, since it must be 
very common. I haven't been able to find one in the docs or by poking at KiCAD. 
Can someone help?

I have a design that will have three PCBs within a lot of other hand wiring, 
such as switches, panel connectors, a power module, and so on. I've created a 
hierarchical schematic that leads to each eventual PCB as a separate schematic 
sheet. I want to convert each of these three schematics to PCBs, one-by-one. 
KiCAD, however, seems to think that I want a PCB of the entire mess, not just 
the single sheet schematic. It compains that component numbers haven't been 
assigned to the higher items in the hierarchy (they haven't).

So far, all I've figured out is to copy the schematic to another file and make 
a PCB from it. While this works, it's sloppy and automatic back-annotation 
seems impossble.

Is there any way to force KiCAD to make a PCB of a single schematic sheet, even 
when buried within a larger hierarchical design?

Thanks,
Jim
