Austin, We usually replace $LOCATION with LOCATION for every ref des if this happens. It hard locates all ref des instead of $LOCATION (Soft location) Unfortunately, you have to do find / replace on each page.

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.

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?
