I have some projects that were made by another design house. However the designs still need to be maintained. The schematics have a very nice template associated with them that would only need some minor changes for continued work. Unfortunately the original template file is not available. Is there an easy way to extract the sch sheet template from a project?
delete all symbols. save as schdot
Well that part was simple.
Now besides the parameters, the sheet primitives are not editable. Is there an unlock document or something that I'm missing?
DOUBLE-CLICK on the primitives. and in inspector toggle them to unlocked.
Clicking had no action. Soon after I just accepted my loss and redrew a new one. Now only if I can figure out how to link parameters between the different sheet size versions.
Should be editable once saved as SchDot (remember to open as SchDot, not create a new SCH from template or whatever(?)).
I forget what happens when you save a template of a schematic on a template... it could be that the base remains locked because it's a double-template, in effect. As dumb as that sounds. But there should still be some way to save off the original template.
