Hello all,

I have a very simply schematic I wanted to repeat a few times in Altium 22.

I created the schematic I wanted to repeat, I then placed a sheet symbol on a higher level sheet and used the repeat function.
The sheet symbol changed to the graphical representation that it repeated itself.
However, the actual sheet only shows 1 scheamtic and when I import into a PCB i only get 1 instance of the sheet.

When i validate the project, Altium says the compilation was successful with no errors found.
Any thoughts on what might be the issue? I've gotten this function to work before, I am not sure what is different this time.

Happy to provide more context or data,
Thanks in advance,
Sami
 

The parent schematic has to have added sheet entry net labels to the child schematic according to specific suffix syntax ( brackets enclosing indexes ),



Altium documentation explain in details

That did it. I added a dummy port with nothing connected on the sheet symbol and it worked. Thanks to both! the same answer was given in the form linked above. I intially tried that solution but neglected to re-validate / compile the project didn't notice that solution worked.
