The Convert Schematic Sheet to Device Sheet dialog.

SUMMARY

This dialog allows designer to convert schematic sheet to device sheet.

ACCESS

In the SCH Editor, run command Edit » Refactor » Convert Selected Schematic Sheet to Device Sheet or right click a sheet symbol and select Refactor » Convert Selected Schematic Sheet to Device Sheet.

OPTIONS/CONTROLS

Target Device Sheet Location - A Device Sheets folder is automatically created within the project folder. By default, Device Sheets are saved to this  Device Sheets folder. Click on the  button at the end of this field to open the Choose Device Sheet Folder dialog and select a different target location for the new device sheet.

Note that the last target location (not including the file name) is remembered in this dialog. If you change the path from the default, the new path is remembered the next time you invoke the dialog.
As well as managing the Device Sheet folders through the Choose Device Sheet Folder dialog (and the subsequent Device Sheet Folders dialog which can be opened from there), designers can manage Device Sheet Folder locations directly from the Data Management - Device Sheets page of the Preferences dialog.
