Moving Schematic Folders

You can use schematic folders to organize a design by grouping schematic pages in ways that serve your purpose.

If you are working in one project and you want to use one or more schematic folders in another project, you can transfer schematic folders from one project to another, or you can create a copy for use in multiple projects. You cannot, however, move or copy a schematic folder into the design cache of any other design.

To move a schematic folder from one project to another:

1. Verify that no document is open in the schematic folder.
    
2. In project manager, select the schematic folder(s) to move.
    
3. Choose Edit – Cut. If you want to have a copy of the schematic folder in both the projects, choose Copy instead of Cut.
    
4. Open the project in which you want to paste the schematic folder(s).
    
5. Select the filename.DSN folder, and choose Edit – Paste.
    
6. Choose File – Save All. Do this for both the projects.

1. Verify that no document is open in the schematic folder.
