Hierarchical Component Numbers on PCB - how to renumber/get rid of module prefix?

pieters

Hi

Please advise how one could switch of the <MODULE>:<NUMBER> type numbering of components on PCB's? to only show the <NUMBER> - as well as how to renumber across hierarchical designs?

    you can change the naming of components (not of the signals) in

    hierarchical designs,

    if you define an "Offset" in the Properties of the module instance.

    See HELP MODULE.

     

     

    Hi Richard,

     

    Is this new functionality? If not how did I miss this previously?! It's not perfect but it certainly makes things possible for some smaller designs.

     

    The problem will come when trying to do large designs with multiple different modules. I think it'll rapidly become impossible to get this to work without causing part number conflicts. For this reason, having the option to just number parts as if it were a flat design but maintain the ability to manipulate as a hierarchical block would make this much more useful.

     

    Best Regards,
