Automatic FPGA-PCB Linking - Configuring the Sheet Symbol Schematic Sheet

As part of the PCB project, you have the option of defining the 'owner' of the FPGA Component sheet (holding the component symbol for the FPGA device). The final page of the FPGA To PCB Project Wizard allows you to define the owner as a sheet symbol which, if enabled, will be created on an additional schematic sheet, the name and location of which you can freely choose. By default, the schematic will be named using the chosen designator for the FPGA component on the previous page of the Wizard (e.g. FPGA_U1_Manual.SchDoc) and will be stored in the same location as the FPGA project.

If you are working with a PCB project that already exists, you would probably already have a sheet with many sheet symbols leading to various other sub-sheets. In this case, simply ensure that the entry in the Sheet Symbol File Name field targets this existing sheet.
