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???

    Not that I am aware of. 

     

    I rolled my own solution but it really is god awful ugly, is *very* platform specific (OSX only at this stage) and does introduce some problems that you really need to be across or your board will wind up getting screwed up. 

     

    I was holding off "fixing" my own solution in the hope that CadSOFT would fix this but from my most recent correspondence with them (as recently as a week or so ago) that still isn't the case so if you want me to "fix" my version a bit more properly, then speak up and and I'll take the time out to do that. 

     

    Note that my solution *requires* that you have Perl installed on your platform (that part isn't going to change ... my solution is created in Perl and I'm not going to re-write in something different).  How well it will work under Windows ... err ... yeah.  Sorry ... I don't use that platform so I have no idea and really don't have very much incentive to try to fix that one.
