Thought someone had something to add you had, I did not know about this case. To show only once then there is only one implementation certainly seems like a good idea, but there to show it I have no idea. I also have schematics there same schematic is reused but only a few times.

Separate program would make sense then searching file for then a schematic or symbol have been used but I think most of the time it should show up automatically in page manager.


It's feels a little bit pointless to discuss plenty of things then I do not have any time make something about it.
