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)

How to stop AD from resetting all parameter positions in schematic when changing visibility of one parameter?

"When in the symbol editor, and with nothing selected, press the O key for "Options", a menu will pop up with Document Options... at the top of the list. Click on Document Options... (the fast way is to press the O key and then the D key) You can also get there by the menu as Tools -> Document Options...

This will bring up the Library Options in the Properties panel. At the very bottom there is a check box for "Show Comment/Designator". Check this checkbox. The Comment string and the Designator string will now display in the symbol editor if they contain data in their values.

Now, in the symbol editor with the Comment and Designator displayed, you can select the Comment and/or the Designator string(s) and set the Autoposition, the Justification, Font and other settings in the Properties panel. You can also position them and they will keep that position, if they have Autoposition unchecked, when the symbol is placed in a schematic."

Thank you Thomas !
