Bug with Renumber Parts?

Former Member

Really sorry if this question has come up before, I haven't found an answer from googling and general searching so here it is ...

 

Version 7.3.0 for Mac OS X (64 bit)  Professional Edition

 

Not sure if this is a bug/feature or something that I'm just doing plain wrong. 

When I'm using the renumber parts, it actually doesn't appear to work when you have multiple modules. 

 

So, for example, I create a master sheet, and inside that, I create say two modules - one called CPU and one called MEMORY (which Eagle then goes and tacks on a '1' to the end of the name to form 'CPU:1' and 'MEMORY:1' (as the logical sheet numbers inside those modules). 

If you try to renumber the parts in any sub module, or for that matter even from the master/root sheet, you it just plumb doesn't work and I'm at a loss to work out *WHY*. 

 

Am I just plain doing this wrong?  Is this a 'feature' (*cough* ... bug) or is there a convoluted procedure involving the the sacrifice of three chickens, two goats and a virgin involved???

    The renumber.ulp has not been reworked to be able to handle modules so

    as of this moment it doesn't work in this scenario. Nothing you've done

    wrong, the ULP just doesn't support it at this moment.

    Thanks for the reply Jorge. 


    Good to know that I'm not doing anything completely stupid. 


    The comment that 'Joop' had though is quite appropriate.  If there is something that is broken, then it probably should appear in the release notes somewhere. 


    I was scratching through those and it didn't immediately jump out at me.  Not sure if you're representing Eagle/Element14 or not, but if you are, then it probably does warrant a note to save someone else the wasted time of trying to solve the insolvable - I banged my head against it for the better part of two days before biting the bullet and asking on a forum.
