[PCB_FORUM] reference designators in design reuse

Hi,

I have a question and need help. If I design a board, consisting one block A, two design reuse block B (the same design reuse block used two times). The board structure can be illustrated as below:

        board - A (U1,...) (subdesign_suffix=1)
                B (U1,...) (subdesign_suffix=2)
                B (U1,...) (subdesign_suffix=3)

My intention or understanding is, the reference designator U1 in A, B, and B will be back annotated as U1_1, U1_2, U1_3. The problem I have is, when I do the "Export Physical" by choosing "Package Option" as "Preserve", U1 in A is retained, but all the reference designators in two B blocks is gone.

Can anybody teach me how to deal with this? In such a design, will I achieve U1_1 for A, U1_2 and U1_3 for two B block? I am running SPB 15.2 under UNIX.

Thanks very much in advance.


Best regards,

Rock
