Are all stupid here?
Unable to read?
I got many answers with always the same workflow and I wrote twice
that this does not work! I also wrote that I already found that
workflow in older posts.
So please dont give me the same answer again and again.

THE PASTE ICON ON THE MAIN TOOLBAR WILL NOT BE HIGHLIGHTED!!!!!!!!

Hi Thomas,

Here is what I tried:

- select a group of components with mouse drag
- right click -> other block commands -> Save block
- now, the paste icon is clickable (i.e. not "ghosted")
- now, go to the hierarchic sheet i want to paste, click paste

This works in my eeschema 2007-05-25.

So, if this procedure does not work for you, you have found a bug. I just
recently noticed that block commands were all broken in SVN. This was fixed
on 2008-03-10, so your version could very well be affected. Please try the
latest svn snapshot.

Best regards
Jonas

PS: I don't think calling people "stupid" is a good idea, especially if these
people are trying to help you in their free time...

Ok I will try the new SVN tomorrow. Today it's to late for
me here in  
germany.
I want to apologize for the 'stupid' word, but it was very
frustrating so  
see that people post
without reading the previous posts.
