Apparently Altium doesn't like starting at Sheet Number 0.ĮDIT: For future reference regarding the following comment: In order to get the above to work, however, I had to get rid of the "Sheet 0" indicator and start the numbering at "Sheet 1" instead. Once these have been modified, in order to get it to print the page numbers correctly, in the Altium OutJob under the Schematic Prints configuration you must select "Sheet Number Parameter" under "Physical Name Expansion". In this dialog the user is allowed to manually enter Sheet Numbers for each of the sheets, including the repeated ones that do not show up in the "Projects" panel. There is a tool buried in Altium called "Annotate Compiled Sheets", found in Tools -> Annotation -> Annotate Compiled Sheets. They show up correctly in Altium, but when printed it only shows "Sheet 2" every time. However, the Sheet Total still shows "10", even though I changed it to "9".Īlso, when I run the OutJob the individual sheet numbers do not carry through to the final schematic. Additionally, when I use the 2.X option it changes the total sheet number to 10 for just the repeated sheets, and having 2.8 sheets of 10 is not what I'm looking for.ĮDIT2: I solved part of the problem. Sheet 8, and Sheet 9.ĮDIT: I have found out how to display the individual duplicate sheet numbers as Sheet 2.1-2.8, but I would like it to display whole-number sheets instead of decimals. Is there a way to modify the parameter so that it increments for each channel? For example, instead of having Sheet 0 (hierarchy overview), Sheet 1, and 8 Sheet 2s, I would like Sheet 0, Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3. Having 8 "Sheet 2"s in the schematic printout is obnoxious and terrible practice. However, when printed out, the schematic shows all 8 sheets with the slightly different designators for each component (this is as it should be), but the sheet number (a parameter defined in the Document Options dialog) is duplicated for all channels.ĭocument Options "Sheet Number" parameter: I have a certain sheet repeated 8 times for 8 channels of the device. I am working on a schematic design in Altium Designer 17.1 that makes use of the Repeat() command for a child sheet.
