Hierarchical Blocks
Making a Hierarchical Schematic Block in eCADSTAR
What is a Hierarchy
Hierarchical blocks are normally used for top-down designs, where the block is drawn on the top-level schematic and associated signal pins are added.
Benefits of a Hierarchical Design:
- Hierarchy reduces the workload for identical blocks of circuitry.
- Hierarchy encourages team design.
- Hierarchy enables design reuse.

Key highlights of the eCADSTAR 2024.0 update
- White Paper
eCADSTAR maximises opportunities for re-use and minimises errors with connected, efficient, and reliable libraries. Parts, footprints, symbols, 3D models, and PCB technology data are managed seamlessly, whether it is sourced locally or from one of eCADSTAR's electronic component partners.
