YES. After you install the SchematicsPlus tool, RUN it. Then go to the preferences panel and in there you will find a check box which will set VIEWER MODE only. This mode does not require any User Registration. Its use in this mode is FREE.

In the library editor for each component you can set the preferred Prefix for the reference designator. Then you use the Annotate command in the Tools menu to sequence the designators. There are many ways to handle this.. Read the documentation for details.

You control the reporting process through the assignment of levels and controlling the levels of descent. Before you start a complex project with this in mind try constructing a simpler project first to get a feel of how the system works.

In your sheet and project preference settings for signals, you need to confirm that they be treated Globally versus Locally.

Each sheet is its own entity. When it is combined or reused in different project then this conflict will always surface. This is why there are Update and Annotate options in the Tools menu. Using these options will clear these problems within the new project.

There is a special symbol known as "Intra-Sheet Interconnect" which is used for such a purpose. You also have the option of dropping some of these signals into a BUSS as well.

First you must use PORTS for the power in your sub sheets and then change the sheet prefs for each of the sub-sheets from Global to PORT. Failing to do this will cause the V+ and V- nets to continue to be treated as Global where what you need is that they be treated as inheriting there proper net-names through their PORT connection in the Hierarchy.

When you change the Library Path setting in the Preferences, you should enable the Recursive option for the new path. There is a column on the left side of the panel that has a folder icon in the header. Clicking in this column will toggle the Recursive option for the path "ON" or "OFF". This option must be "ON" in order for sub-folders to be searched.

Check your current library Grid setting. It has to be 6 pixels or more for this feature to operate.

In the project window select the Project Settings Button (upper left) and then select the Components Panel in the dialogue which appears. In this panel put a check mark in the option " Automatically assign designators(unique only to the sheet)."and close the dialogue. Then when you paste a circuit from another window the original reference designators will be used unless they conflict with ones already in-use in the target window. In the later case the conflicting designators will be reassigned.

When you are done it is best to uncheck this option since you will find that in this unchecked mode Schematics Plus will function better and require far less post cleanup as the system will be able to manage the data collection from the global project level, as it should.

If you must change the name of a sheet file, then you need to update all of the references to that file name in all your design(s) which refer to the file under the old name.

For Child sheets, this means double-clicking on the corresponding symbols in the parent sheets and updating the File Name field in the Sub-Sheet panel.

For Top-Level sheets, the project window displays a question-mark (?) icon when it can't find the file using the old name. To fix this, Right-Click the mouse (or Click with the Control Key down) on the icon. A pop-up menu will appear. Choose the "Rename" command from this menu and enter the file's new name. This procedure must be followed in order to allow the existing annotation data in the project file to remain linked with the appropriate sheet file.

It is important to update the file name references as soon as possible after changing a file's name. Annotation data, held in the project file, which has become unlinked from its sheet file will eventually be purged if you open and close the project several times without fixing the file name references. Therefore fix these reference changes immediately to avoid problems.
