If you're using off page connectors how are you going to specify the pcb connectors that are used to join the boards together?

I have replaced offpage connectors by net names and I will be making seperate projects.

that doesnt work.

1 project = 1 board.   no way around it. ( actually there is )

you ned to make sure that each unique section in the schematic, that needs to be a separat board, uses unique netnames.

so instead of having one gnd you would have gnd1 gnd2 gnd gnd4 and so on.

then you can do this , but that is an ugly workaround
