More like the dangers of mixins... EDA_TEXT can only show the literal text it contains, but in the case of the reference that's not what should be done. Unless you state that the reference field *always* contains the subunit designator, of course. But then it would be a data redundancy with the subunit id in the component :D If this was a relational DB it would be a FIRST normal form violation... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl
