The behavior of Protel 99SE-SP6, is the same, C1 will also become C1_1 and so on.
I'm using the export to spread option in such cases, then I run a small client basic script that will change the designators. Finally the new designators will be transfered back to the pcb with the update process. The script is very small. I've no experience with DXP. As stated erlier in this forum, you are not allowed to close the pcb in the meanwhile because update will not work anymore in ths case. Dipl. Ing.

I am panelizing a number of small boards, (5 caps, two SOP16 packages). I'm using DXP and when I copy the second board, all the designator's names are changed. C1 becomes C1_1, ...the third board has designator's changed from C1 to C1_2... and so on. Does anyone know how to turn this feature off? Or maybe it's best to move everything back to 99SE once again and do the work there?
