John, Well, thanks a lot, really. That is a very good suggestion, it makes a lot of sense. It still takes some redundant work, but it may not be as bad as renaming all of the parts' designators. I'm trying it as of now, though it's taking time to match the parts and place them. I was about to

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

Peter, I should have read your post with more attention. It sometimes works, but I don't have time to find out what it is that makes it work. Usually, I make copies of the channels manually and then annotate. There is another problem with complex hierarchy, and it is that once you execute
