I searched the Buglist buthave not found anything about Problems with refdes on other Layers. Could you please explain more about it? I certainly didn't know it was a bad plan (otherwise I wouldn't have done it), but it looks as if Protel takes layer information from the component from which layer the refdes is on. I've been putting the refdes on various mech layers, and suffering from the problem I've been discussing here. Coincidence? As soon as I can generate a small test board that exhibits this, then I'll bug-report it (but, for the moment, I'll leave the refdes on the originial layer, and accept the slight inconvenience).
