In other words, you can't have N "instances" of a subcircuit, then edit that subcircuit and have the changes show up on all N copies. You have to finalize the subcircuit first, then copy it. | |

I'm using freeware Eagle occasionally. (My main tool is OrCAD, which has a pretty good hierarchical blocks for schematics.) | |
