Re: global label alternatives?
Hi Yes. I place the hierarchical labels in the sheet, and bring them up to the sheet placeholder (box) on the above sheet. Then I use them to make the connections from sheet to sheet (box to box). In

Re: global label alternatives?
To be sure I understand, you assign hierarchical labels on the lower level sheets, then bring them out like pins on the top level sheet? And then you make the connections between the lower level

Re: global label alternatives?
Hi I use hierarchical labels for that. In general I have one or more pages with only the blocks representing the hierarchic sheets and the hierarchical labels connected from sheet to sheet.

global label alternatives?
I have a multi-sheet schematic, where there are many random (not bused) signals that connect between sheets. So far, the best approach I've come up with is to give every net a global label. But that

Re: KiCad6 path rename
Sorry, I misunderstood the query. If it is simply some text in the file, then yes sed should do the job. If it gets very complicated then awk is often useful. I have some bad memories of some
