Sheets in Schematic Capture

Issue

The default maximum is restricted to 2 schematic sheets.

Trying to add a third sheet, the 'new' is disabled.

Workaround

Open the schematic .sch file in a text editor

At the bottom of the file, find </sheets> and paste the below text immediately above </sheets>.

<sheet>
<plain>
</plain>
<instances>a
</instances>
<busses>
</busses>
<nets>
</nets>
</sheet>

Tips

You can paste this multiple times, as each being a new additional sheet in schematics.

Examples

The Templates folder has some examples of workaround to get more sheets.
