About Project Physical Documents and All SCH Documents

In the Project Outjob there are options (Project Physical Documents or All SCH Documents) to generate Schematics.

'Project Physical Documents' will show Not-Fitted Variants and final reference designators for reused sheets in hierarchical projects.  

'All SCH Documents' prints the document as seen it in the Schematic Editor tab.
'All SCH Documents' will NOT display the Variant (red X) Not-Fitted parts.

Sheet Numbering Issues and Workarounds

'Project Physical Documents' will generate schematics with sheet numbers ordered by document name and will show the red X hash for the variant. 

Example:

ADC.SchDoc  (Sheet 1)
BAT.SchDoc   (Sheet 2)
CAN.SchDoc  (Sheet 3)


'All SCH Documents'  will generate schematics with sheet numbers ordered by sheet numbers assigned using Tools > Annotation > Number Schematic Sheets . . .

Again 'All SCH Documents' will NOT show the red X hash for variants.

Work around for displaying Red X Variants with expected sheet numbers.

Prefix the SchDoc sheets with numbered names in the preferred order.

Example:

01_CAN.SchDoc  (Sheet 1)
02_BAT.SchDoc   (Sheet 2)
03_ADC.SchDoc  (Sheet 3)

Workaround Caveats:

Adding another New SchDoc sheet to a project will require renaming sheets if the New.SchDoc is to be inserted between existing sheets.

Example: Insert New.SchDoc

01_CAN.SchDoc  (Sheet 1)
02_New.SchDoc  (Sheet 2)
03_BAT.SchDoc   (Sheet 3)
04_ADC.SchDoc  (Sheet 4)

Adding another New SchDoc sheet to a project will NOT require renaming sheets if the New.SchDoc is Appended to the existing sheets. (last sheet).

Example:

01_CAN.SchDoc  (Sheet 1)
02_BAT.SchDoc   (Sheet 2)
03_ADC.SchDoc  (Sheet 3)
04_New.SchDoc  (Sheet 4)
