But what about if you just want to add the same design a couple of times to
a PCB Panel. IS there a way to turn off the _1 extensions and ignore the
resulting same part name errors? This would be after doing all the checks on
the single instance version.

Curious,

I am not sure if this is relevant to what you are trying to do
specifically... But if I remember correctly the reference to Complex
hierarchy in the manual actually refers to the way it worked in 98... I
don't have my manual handy to check.

Either way... if you haven't looked at this KB article you may want to give
it a glance.  It describes Complex hierarchy and the way the complex to
simple function works in 99 and 99SE.
