    Hi,

    What is the difference between using dbCreateInstByMasterName() and
    schCreateInst() to place instances in a schematic sheet.

    Thanks,
    Ahmad

    Hi Ahmad,

    If you want a connectivity database only, then dbFunctions are to be
    used. If you are aiming for a normal editable schematic, as created
    manually, then you have to use the schFunctions.

    Cheers,
    Riad.

    Actually it doesn't make a huge amount of difference, because ultimately you
    would extract the connectivity with something like schCheck or schExtractConn.

    The main difference is that if doing this whilst the schematic is open,
    schCreateInst avoids the need to call schSync (see the documentation for
    schSync). Even then, it rarely matters...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
