Peter, in Tools->Annotate you can define how to annotate your schematic sheets. Choose to annotate the whole project and in Advanced Options dialog set the suffixes for each individual schematic sheet. That will enable you to differentiate between part naming on individual channels in your design.

I'm working on a design that will have many (like 32) copies of a single subcircuit. I'm trying to use Protel99SE's 'complex hierarchy' to implement this. I've created one sub-sheet for the subcircuit (call it "amp.sch") that will be replicated. In the toplevel sheet (say "top.sch") I've created several sheet symbols that all refer to the sub-sheet "amp.sch". When I netlist I get only one instance of amp.sch, and the various inputs/outputs to the different instances of amp.sch all get shorted together. Not what I want. According to the online help, the command 'Tools/Complex to Simple' is supposed to flatten the design, duplicating subsheets as necessary so that each subsheet is referenced once--so then you can netlist/annotate correctly. Problem is when I select 'Complex to Simple', nothing at all happens. Any ideas? Should I even be trying complex hierarchy at all? Or is it one of those things that look good on paper but don't work so well in real life? -- Peter W.
