Folks,

I am trying to use the same hierarchical schematic and product two

plan is to have a symlink for the board file which can point to either
of the two boards,
depending on which I am currently working on.

Hi Dick-

I'm hoping that we can explicitly deprecate sharing files between projects in favor of an in-KiCad solution for reusing design blocks. Having this functionality external to KiCad, as is the case with shared files, can cause lots of problems (cached references, changes in one project, etc) and requires the user to explicitly configure their filesystem to support this.

Best-
