Thx, Jim.
I'm using OrCAD Capture

What I've now done is put all my schematic pages into 1 root (/)
subdirectory. Then for the 1st schematic page I've called every
component X11, X12, X13 etc etc.....then the next schematic page I've
called the components X21, X22, X23 etc. The only downside now is that
when I save a schematic page it asks me if i want to save ALL the
schematic pages, to which I have no choice but to click yes OR
cancel...so I click 'yes' and it saves the lot.....again! there must be
a better way that I'm missing....

'doing_the _hierarchy_correctly'.......now I think that's where I'm
messing up. I'd really appreciate a few pointers on this.

Thx again,

I don't use Capture... I find it astronomically klutzy.

However, play around with Place, Hierarchical Block for making
hierarchical schematics.

There is in the "View" menu a next page/previous page command, so
there must be some way to add a page to make multi-page drawings that
act as one schematic. 

However I can't find it ;-)

Hi Jim,
I am not sure WHAT he is doing. One thing he needs to do is get all his refdes's straight. He needs to package the design (a step Schematics did automagically) and that will make all his refdes unique. If he wants heirarchy, then he creates heirarchical blocks and does that. If he has a flat design, then, he has off-page connectors to go to the other pages, and packages to get all the different refdes's updated.

It is always fun when you have someone who obvious felt that the manuals and tutorials were just a waste of time... 8-)
