You use schematic folders to organize a design, grouping schematic pages in ways that make the most sense for your requirements. If you change your mind, you can easily transfer schematic pages from one schematic folder to another. You can also place copies of pages in several schematic folders.
If one of your projects contains one or more schematic pages that solve a problem in a second project, you can transfer the pages from one project to another, or you can place copies in both the projects. Because all schematic pages must be contained in a schematic folder, a schematic folder to hold the pages must exist in the second project before you can place the pages.
If a document in a schematic folder is open in an editor, the document cannot be moved or copied.
To move schematic pages from one schematic folder to another:
- Verify that the pages are not open in the schematic page editor or the spreadsheet editor.
- In project manager, select the schematic pages you want to move.
- Choose Edit– Cut.
If you want to have a copy of the pages in both schematic folders, choose the Copy command. - Select the schematic folder to store the pages.
- Choose Edit– Paste.
OR
- Verify that the pages are not open in the schematic page editor or the spreadsheet editor.
- Select the schematic pages that you want to move, then drag them to the appropriate schematic folder.
If you wish to have a copy of the pages in both the schematic folders, press and hold the Ctrl key while you drag.
To move schematic pages from one project to another:
- Verify that the schematic pages are not open in the schematic page editor.
- Open a project and select the schematic pages you want to move.
- Choose Edit– Cut.
If you want to have a copy of the pages in both projects, choose Copy. - Open the project in which you want to use the schematic pages.
- Select the schematic folder to store the pages.
- Choose Edit– Paste.
- Choose File– Save All. Do this for both the projects.
OR
- Verify that the schematic pages are not open in the schematic page editor.
- Open both projects in their respective project managers.
- Drag and resize the two project manager windows so that each is visible.
- Select the schematic pages that you want to move, then drag them to the appropriate schematic folder in the second project manager window.
- If you want to have copies of the pages in both projects, press and hold Ctrl while you drag the pages.
- Choose File – Save All. Do this for both the projects.
- If you copy or move a document from one design or library to another, you must save the destination design or library immediately. Else, you may lose data when you open the moved document in the schematic page editor or part editor and then close the editor without saving the document.
- If you move or copy a parent schematic folder or schematic page from one project into a second project, Capture remembers the name and directory of the file containing the child schematic folder(s). This information is stored in the Attach Implementation dialog box for each hierarchical block and non-primitive part.
