Hi,
My team is responsible for creating a design that consists of top and bottom parts - both parts are connected via a dedicated connector. The idea is to provide modular solution.
Something like PC motherboard as the bottom part and some RAM like board as the top part.
Rationale
For my taste, it should be much easier to track and see what is connected to what (connector has more than 200 pins) if both schematics would be readable from a perspective of a single merged-like drawing/assembly then further analysis should be much easier (no more having to check one project against another and jumping across different tabs/views).
It's especially useful for board bring-up activities when one has to look where signals lead from one board to another.
Problem
When I talked with HW engineers (I'm embedded software engineer myself), they told me Altium does not allow to create a multi-board design from 2 separate projects (that is the default way we do things).
AI chats claim it's possible but they still hallucinate quite often so I can't really trust them much on this one :D
Question
Do you know if such thing is possible?
If not, then do you know the alternative solution to such a problem?
Maybe for it to be possible a change on the project creation phase is required (can't be changed if done any other way) or something.
For me, this adds quite a lot of value not only in what I mentioned above, but in terms of schematic/design validation and finding possible errors like incorrect signal routing and etc. I hope what I wrote makes sense as I'm not HW engineer myself, so some terminology may be incorrect - for that I'm sorry in advance
