Hi All -

I have a strange problem here with 99SE-SP6 with linking between sheets.
I'm working on a small design, just two sheets.  The 2nd one is referenced
in the 1st one via a normal sheet symbol, created via
Design->Create-Symbol-from-Sheet.  All works normally, as expected.  When I
browse primitives/parts and check on All-in-Hierarchy, I see all the parts.

I needed to make some changes, and wanted to keep a reference sch around, so
I right-click-Copy and right-click-Paste to create a copy of the sch.  Work
on the new copy, everything is still fine.  The original one though, has
lost it's link to the 2nd sheet.

The sheet symbol is still there, and still points to the 2nd sheet as it
should.  But browsing primitives/parts only shows the parts on that sheet,
not the 2nd one.  If I switch to the Explorer view tab, the tree view shows
the 2nd sheet as subordinate to the new copy.

Some experimentation shows that the link follows a new copy.  I can create
copies of copies, and the link just follows along.  I would like to be able
to use a 2nd sheet as a building block for several 1st sheets, going to
several pcbs.  If I make a change on that 2nd sheet, doing an Update-PCB on
each of the 1st sheets should update each pcb.

So the question becomes, is it possible to have several "main" sheets that
all refer to a single 2nd sheet ?  How ?
