Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Soft Located Ref Des vs Hard Located
 
Hello all,
If we move over to using $LOCATION / soft located ref des across a
schematic, will my ref des's change indisciminantly?
I would appreciate any feedback that would help me move to this with
confidence.

1. If I use "preserve packaging, will it retain all original ref des and
only update new part ref des? 
In the past I have seen some parts get reassigned, changing ref des in
layout.
<>2. If all are $LOCATION and I add a new part with "? location" or copy
an existing symbol to same ref des but $LOCATION which one will change,
the original or copied part.

3. If you copy a hard located part (connector) can you soft locate it
and add ? value so it will package?

My concern is...IS IT SAFE TO USE $LOCATION WITH NO DANGER OF PARTS IN
ALLEGRO CHANGING REF DES THAT ARE ALREADY PLACED / ROUTED? 

Also, if someone selects re-package by mistake, will it change any
original ref des? I have seen this in the past.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
