I am currently working on a project where I want to use hierarchical sheets for the first time - super handy stuff!
However, Iran into some trouble when I tried to rorate these sheets - it messes up the locking to the grid I think.
What I ultimately wanted to do basically is to have the hierarchical pins in the main sheet also on top/bottom, while it seems to only be allowed left/right - thus the rotation intentions.
Now I guess if I make the grid resolution crazy small, like 1 mil, it should “solve” the problem, but thats not very handy, is it?
On the picture you can see how I cannot seem to be able to connect wires to the respective hierarchical label on the rotatet sheet.
I found out I can fix this manually by editing text in the .sch-file - this way the size & location dont get ■■■■■■up, I simply have to change “L” or “R” (left/right) to “T” or “B” (top/bottom) for the respective hierarchical pin.
This is how a sheet looks like in the .sch-file:
$Sheet
S 3900 4700 850 850
U 595D08FD
F0 “Batt Meas” 60
F1 “batMeas.sch” 60
F2 “batMeasIn” I T 4200 4700 39
F3 “batMeasOut” O B 4200 5550 39
F4 “GND” I B 3900 5550 39
$EndSheet
Also, if the formatting has been f*cked up and you need to “fix” it, it helped for me to change the numbers back to “normal” grid steps in the lines 2 (for the location x location x size x size of the box) as well as for the respective lines where the hierarchical pins are defined, like “F2” - in some cases, the number was “4201” instead of “4200”, which of course means with a 50 mil grid I won’t be able to connect a wire.
