Hi Austin, If you have a small testcase, please send it to Customer Support, we'll take a look at it for you.

Hi Jerry, I do exactly both of those, and it still redoes the REFDESs. It makes them sequential, and fills in the gaps. I'm obviously missing something, and it's very frustrating. I've tried quite a few things, just not hit on the right one yet. Thanks!

Hi Austin, First, don't "repackage". In the Export Physical form, make sure you have "Preserve" checked: [cid:image001.png@01CBFDE1.D26367B0] Click on the Advanced button (upper right above), select the Layout tab. Make sure the option for "Reuse Ref Des numbers" is NOT checked: [cid:image002.png@01CBFDE1.D26367B0] Jerry -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of allegrolist@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 3:31 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] How do I preserve REFDESs when packing in Allegro Design Entry HDL... Hi, Every time I repackage (Design Entry HDL, 15.7), it reassigns the REFDESs. I want to keep the existing REFDESs (and their gaps). How can I specify this?
