On that same screen is "automatically reference placed parts" you probably
want to turn it off too.

 

The preserve on copy showed up relatively recently.  I would have expected
10.3 to have it.  I'm in  Design Capture CIS 15.5.1 (The allegro
installation, not the orcad installation) and I have it.  It was also
present in 15.5.

 

The preserve on copy only matters if you did a "COPY" if you do a "CUT" then
it should keep the refdes anyway.

 

Alternatively, copy the entire page from one schematic to the next instead
of cutting/pasting the stuff on the page.

        Cheryl, I'm with you up to the last pick. but in 10.3 Capture I
don't have preserve Reference on Copy.
What rev are you running?

  While copying pages from different schematics into one new design I was
attempting 

to keep the same reference designators from the original pages. But the
schematic capture 

program keeps re-assigning new reference designators. How does one control
this action ?
