One thing you can do is to remove the designator or change it to something
really strange (like UBADCOMP1 and UBADCOMP2) on the components in the PCB.
Now when you run the synchronizer it should prompt you to match the
component in PCB to the component in schematic. Select the correct ones and
it should do everything correctly. Of course before committing check the
list of changes.

Subject: [PEDA] Why does the synchronizer always change items back that I
have ma nually changed?
Hi all,
I know that this has surely been asked before but I am running into
it now and can't force the P99SE to conform to my will.
I have two connectors, in the original netlist they were miss numbered once
I started the layout so I changed them in the PCB and then the schematic. I
manually adjusted the netlists and carried on a while longer. Then it was
time to bring in some more changes via the schematics. The schematics are
100% correct and match my PCB 100% with regard to these connectors. The
synchronizer does the following:
1) disconnects the existing nets from both connectors. Even though they
match the schematic circuit exactly.
2) it then swaps the two reference designators with each other.
3) then it connects the same two nets to the same two connectors(by ref des
#).
Result: I have the two connectors swapped for location and connections.
How do I get the synchronizer to stop changing my reference designators
back
to the original configuration and then miswiring the nets?
A while ago I mentioned that there seemed to be some hidden form of
component matching between PCB and schematic, someone said I was mistaken.
If I was mistaken, how does the synchronizer know what reference
designators
in the schematic to change back to once I have changed them?
Here is the synchronizer report!
