Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the help.  I don't have a small test case.  I could try making
one...and perhaps in the morning, I may try that.  This is pretty
frustrating.  I know it worked correctly at one time, as an older BOM has
the correct REFDESs, but every new BOM/netlist I generate has the REDESs
redone.  I really wouldn't care if they were redon if when I read it in to
the layout, it didn't unpace components that shouldn't be unplaced...and
therefore get their traces ripped up.

So, I'll figure out what to try next in the morning.  It's been a very
frustrating afternoon/evenin/night trying to figure out what's going on
here.

Best Regards,

Austin

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!

Austin

Hi Austin,



First, don't "repackage". In the Export Physical form, make sure you have
"Preserve" checked:

Click on the Advanced button (upper right above), select the Layout tab.

Make sure the option for "Reuse Ref Des numbers" is NOT checked:

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?



Thanks,



Austin
