No hierarchical sheets. I'm all for hierarchical net labels that then cross the sheet boundaries on a sheet higher in the hierarchy. It's all graphical, just that the line "jumps" from a child to parent sheet. It's easy to follow without looking for words all over the place: only on the hierarchical sheet symbol when going higher, or a single hierarchical net symbol - usually conspicuous - when going deeper. | |
| Mar 3, 2023 at 15:29 | comment | added | Peter Smith | There are a lot of occasions where big circuits simply will not fit on a page and off sheet ports (or equivalent) have to be used. Where that happens, meaningful net names are very useful in deciphering the circuit. One I am working on now is a test interface that drives relays (among other things|) and a single control channel is enough for a page. As there are linkages to various fault indicators, making the prefix (in particular) unique to a channel is my method. | |
