All I wanted to say is that whatever method is used to fix the power pin problem an auto-renumber (any method) should not touch the chosen packages. When I tried it did, it assigned other refdeses to some of the parts sans power pins. > Indeed, I have a special-purpose renumbering script of my own around > here someplace.

Also, some sheets need to contain a whole big circuit in order to show a complete high voltage generator and such. HV gens are rarely under 200 parts just for that sheet. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
