[kicad-users] Modification of existing design

2008-03-31 Thread glinelec
I am trying to get a consistent annotation when modifying an existing design. If I remove a component say D1 then the resultant design starts from D2. Is there a way of correcting this without re-annotating which would make the PCB design incorrect? My previous system allowed a re-annotate of
