			<br>As of V32, you can use the menu item "Lock module against movement..." in the "Modules" menu. Likewise there is a menu item which unlocks a module completely again. Only the packages in the PCB are affected by the locking:<br><br>

			Assemblies of schematic elements worth being used in various circuits (eg. power supplies), can be seen as a kind of a "multi-element". So you save the work to re-insert each part of the group again and again. Act as follows: After having drawn the circuit in schematic and layout copy and paste it to an empty project, each schematic and layout subsequently. Now save this project using a clever name. Open this project later again in order to copy and paste its designs like modules to other projects. Again - first schematic, then layout subsequently.

			Please have a look at the article '''[[Clipboard]]''' as well.

Using a prepared assembly as a module

	~~== Using a prepared assembly as a module ==~~

	Subassemblies, which might be used in several designs can be seen as a kind of "multi element" (e.g. power supplies). So you would like to insert them as a module instead of creating them new each time. How do you do that? After having drawn a schematic and a layout of such a subassembly copy it to the clipboard and paste it to a new, empty project. Schematic first, then the layout. Save this project under a reasonable name. Later open this new project again and pick the assembly from it. Paste it to your desired design, schematic first, then the layout.

	~~'''For example:''' A symmetrical universal power supply [[media:powersupp_univ_sym.T3001\|powersupp_univ_sym.T3001]]~~


	~~[[image:netzteil_S1.jpg\|none\|300px\|Image 1: Power supply (schematic)]]~~
	~~'''Image 1''' shows the schematic of a symmetrical universal power supply<br>~~
	~~<br>~~

	~~[[image:netzteil_L1.jpg\|none\|300px\|Image 2: Power supply (layout)]]~~
	~~'''Image 2''' shows a layout of it.<br>~~
	~~<br>~~


	Now open an empty project and tile the window horizontally. Now take the complete schematic of the module to the clipboard. For doing so drag a [[Catch window]] over the complete figure and press '''[Ctrl]+[c]'''.<br>
	~~<br>~~


	~~[[image:netzteil_S2.jpg\|none\|300px\|Image 3: Paste the schematic like a module]]~~
	~~'''Image 3''' Now paste the clipboard by '''[Ctrl]+[v]''' to an empty schematic page.<br>~~
	~~<br>~~

	~~[[image:netzteil_L2.jpg\|none\|300px\|Image 4: Paste the layout as a module]]~~
	~~'''Image''' 4 Do the same with the layout.<br>~~
	~~<br>~~
