PCB component name (hierarchical design)

apica
apica over 10 years ago

Hello,

I'm making a design with Eagle 7.2.0 and using the hierarchy feature. In each hierarchic bloc, the name of each component starts from 1 (U1, U2, ...). The problem is on the PCB design, because the hierarchic bloc name is added in each component.


For example, the bloc "SUPPLY" have the components C2 and R3. In the PCB view, the name of the components are the following:

image

Is it possible to show only the component identifier (C2 or R3) without showing the hierarchic bloc name (SUPPLY) on the PCB?

 

Thank you!

    No, this is not how it works. What you really do is compose a small schematic and expose the various leads. Please watch this demo to see how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7FkzqIGsqU

    Thank you for replying.

     

    I already saw this tutorial, and I made the supply module with the input/output leads.

    And inside the module...

    I'm just asking about the naming of the components in the board editor.

     

    Thank you

    In the tutorial they said the names inside were unique to outside. This implies they need to use a qualified name outside, hence the Supply:R3 for instance.
