Hello, Bastian! I like your ideas as well. But this Widget could contain much more information that I would call it i.e. "Design Explorer". You can have your schematics in a tree view covering the hierarchical schematic pages as you suggest. But then you could also browse your design by

Hi, the big designs are mostly mainboards with on board CPU for networking and communications. sometimes there are FPGAs there as well. We use a software called Zuken for that. I like the Symbols and net idea as well I will keep it in mind. Cheers, Basti 2017-09-07 11:59 GMT+02:00 Simon

I like the idea that you have posed. I guess this is meant for the eeschema rewrite that is scheduled in the future? Out of curiousity, what kind of monster designs are you doing that require 40 A3 sheets of paper? :-D motherboards? huge FPGA boards? Am 07.09.2017 um 11:29 schrieb Bastian

Hi, I ususlly work with schematics of around 5 to 15 pages. A3 sized that is. Using A4 for schematics that easily bloats up to 30 pages. For those schematics I am not using KiCad since they are in a professional environment. Given the situation that I am currently working on a big design in
