I’ve searched the internet and the forum for an answer.
I want to instantiate the same schematic and layout of a subcircuit 40 times. What I find on the internet seems to be all manual or scripting solutions with one suggestion to save the subcircuit as a separate project and then append it.
I am using KiCad 6 and the append command doesn’t appear unless you run pcbnew standalone. Then there is no way I can see to update the schematic.
The array command also doesn’t appear in Kicad 6 menu but I found the shortcut cntl-T. That allowed me to create the 8x5 array of subcircuits in the layout with individual reference designators.
How can I update the schematic to match? The “update schematic from PCB” tool doesn’t work, it just gives a bunch of errors. I tried to copy paste 39 times in eeschema but that creates new symbols separate from the ones in the layou.
thanks in advance for your help.
