These guys have told me to... re-number the schematic list to show industry convention as per IPC standard. This is generally R=resistor C=capacitor D=diode which is sequentially numbered from left to right across the PCB from the datum. Once this is done is should be then a simple exercise to re-produce gerber files and parts list showing ic1,ic2,ic3 ETC and not have x referred to all over the board. If you go into the properties of the design and change the designator removing the the X . They won't get my business again, as this crap is costing me a great deal of time - not to mention killing the benefits of an easy to reference / update schematic for each repeated block. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
