Back Annotation of references

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 15 years ago

I've searched but cannot find how to force a 'back annotation' of all the

component reference designators.

 

Once I'm done with a layout I want to 'run something' that reorders the

refs; top to bottom, left to right.

 

How's it done?

 

Thanks.

    Exactly so Joerg!  I don't care what the schematic refs are.  Debugging a

    design is all about what the components are on the schematic then where

    they are on the board.  Once you head to the part on the board you have to

    find it!  With 300 components on a board it's a chore to find it and a

    really big chore if the board is covered with random refs.

     

     

    Greg; You are not misunderstanding in the least!  That's exactly what I'm

    after!  I'll try it on my current layout when I get to that point.

     

    Many thanks.
