Reuse sections of Schematic+PCB

Hello, Is there an easy way to reuse a part of a project’s schematic and corresponding PCB layout? For example I wanted to reuse an LDO section of a previous board to a new project. I copied the schematic section and the PCB section to the new project. I made the references match between them (e.g. R17) but after I updated the PCB from the Schematic all the components got a copy of it, so I had to delete the copied ones and replace them with the ones added from the Schematic. At least I didn’…

Copy/paste multiple components in schematic and PCB

Yeah, hierarchical sheets are a great way how to make schematic modular. I use them a lot, however that is what I meant by " if I have the schematic prepared for copy/pasting that particular block". SO basically if you created the blocks somehow and then realize that you would need them differently, then it is not useful. For example I have and Flash for FPGA configuration. So it goes to FPGA sheet. Then I realize that the memory can be used also for storing some calibration data for the MCU. S…
