Designing matrices of parts

[johndoe1395]

Hello
I'm fairly new to Altium and I've been trying to design 10x10 led matrix pcb. How do I go about making the schematic? Do I have to actually add 100x of the component in the schematics and then connect them or is there a better way?
Also as I understand, in Altium you can connect 2 pins in a pcb only if they are connected in the schematic too. Is there any way to  circumvent this?

Thanks for your time!

I would use sub-sheets, or whatever they're called.

Main sheet contains 10 references to the "column" sheet using a sheet symbol, and the column sheet contains 10 LEDs (or, if the circuitry is complex enough, the column sheet could contain 10 "pixel" sheets).

Still a little bit of wiring, but 20 objects is a lot better than 100!

If you do the hierarchical sheet setup as rs20 suggests and have room generation enabled, you can then layout one column on the PCB and then duplicate that layout to all of the other columns.  Altium calls this "multi-channel design", and it's a big help for repetitive  layouts.
