Multipage schematics are provided in Electric by having different views for each page. Thus, you can have cells called "Timer{p1}" and "Timer{p2}" which are pages 1 and 2 of the Timer schematic. To create these cells, use the Edit Multi-Page Schematic View... command (in menu View).

As a graphical aid to schematic design, frames can be displayed in a cell by using the Cell Properties... command (in menu Cell).

| The frame size can be "Half-A", "A", "B", "C", "D", and "E". The frame can be horizontal (landscale) or vertical (portrait). You can choose to display a title box in the lower-right corner. The designer name can also be set for each cell.

Besides the designer name, cell frames have a company name and a project name. These values are not set for each cell, but instead are preferences that are set for each user. Individual libraries can override these defaults as well.

The "Frame" preferences (in menu File / Preferences..., "Display" section, "Frame" tab) lets you set all of these defaults. Note that the designer name is taken first from the cell, then from the library if the cell does not set a value, and finally from the general default if the library and cell do not set a value. |
