Expert: addressing sheets by path

+Another way of addressing extenal chold sheets that are not listed in the +project file is path based addressing. This is done by using the sheet +ref sym attribute cschem/child/path instead of cschem/child/name. +The path must be relative to the parent sheet's path on thefile system. +The sheet is automatically loaded as an external sheet during compilation. +

+This method can not be used to address hlibrary child sheets because of +the relative addressing in the file system. It is useful for large projects +with a local system of child sheets with redundant names, sorted into +subdirectories. In that case the designer may wish to explicitly refer to +the child sheet by relative path instead of by short name depending on +a library search algorithm that may pick the wrong file.
