My page.map file looked like this: 8 1 6 4 9 3 13 2 This was because the E.E. cloned pages from prior designs (pages 8,6,9 &13) Named the .csa's to 1-4. This cleared out the page.map file since numbering was correct. (zero K file size) 1. I changed the "old" page numbers in the .csa's to match the .csa. 2. Repackaged to Allegro. 3. Quick place by page then worked fine. Thanks, Mark Schwartz, Jerome wrote: I use place by page a lot. It works all the time. One thing to look for is the page.map file. When schematic pages are copied from other schematic or numbered differently, the page.map file shows the order you really want them in. So in the case of place by page you might seem the page number 5 on your schematic and try to place by page all components on page 5. In reality these parts are on page 22 according to the page.map file. Regards, Jerry Schwartz, CID+ IPC Advanced Certified Designer "May The Schwartz Be With You."

Is that cheating? In any case, I recommend contacting Cadence as you haven't gotten any replies from the group. Usually a sign that no one has an answer. If you do find a solution, please let all of us know. Good luck, Kevin Mark Salberg wrote: Kevin, No, I have not contacted Cadence yet because it is usually much more time consuming than this forum. As I mentioned, it does work "sometimes" and if anyone else uses this feature, (which is very useful when it works), have you run into this inconsistency? It is very easy to setup... select "place by page" and type in the page number to place. I take it you have not run into this problem. Thanks, Mark Kevin McCowan wrote: Have you tried going to the page and selecting all of the stuff on the page? I have had that work just fine. Maybe there are a few bugs to work out on this feature. What has Cadence told you to do about it? You did let Cadence know, right? Kevin McCowan Sr. PCB Designer TSI Telsys Mark Salberg wrote: Can anybody tell me why (Quick place by page) only works sometimes? I have newly packaged 4-page Concept design that will only place by page 1 and 4. But not page 1 or 2. It really seems to be a "hit or miss" feature that is GREAT when it works. In many designs it will not work at all. Any suggestions? We are using v15.1 on windows 2000.
