Support Design Blocks (reuse library) for schematics (lp:#1797683)
Original report created by Thomas Pointhuber (pointhi)
It would be nice to have the possibility of inserting parts of a schematic
or even whole hierarchical-sheets from a special purpose library.
Basically, this would allow simplifying the reuse of existing modules like
a step-down regulator or in my case an Arduino-compatible hierarchical
sheet.
Somethings similar (they needed it because of lack of hierarchical
schematics :P):
