I have a Hierarchical design I'm working on at the moment but I've done it in Altium designer 21.4.1 and them I've imported it into Kicad V8.00 RC1 (doesn't work the other way around as Altium can't import designs done with anything but V6 of Kicad and even then poorly). The design has a root schematic with 7 hierarchical blocks with ports that are interconnected with wires on the root schematic. I have not used sch-rnd before but I'm willing to give it a try if I can import my kicad and or Altium schematic to test out the functionality. I'm willing to share the Kicad archive if this would help or even the Altium schematic (I don't have any newer than 21.4.1 as I no longer subscribe to altium any more). Thanks.
