Find missing SilkScreen RefDes on board design

TiBo

Hi,

Is anyone knows how to find a missing REFDES on silkscreen or assembly layer? Is there a skill code to do that?

From time to time I find a few part on the design missing REFDES, probably they got deleted by accident and I didn't even know about it. It takes a lot of time to check each part on the board. If there are a better way to do this, please do tell.

Thank in advance.

Regard,

TiBo

    Hi Kory, I did what you said and have an error E- *Error* toplevel: undefined variable - fmr . Sorry to keep asking for more, how do I make this work for RefDes for all SST, SSB, ASSY_Top, and ASSY_Bott . Thanks

    Hi TiBo,

    You have quickly exceeded my Skill expertise.

    Did the Skill load go okay?

    You should exit Skill before typing "fmr".

    I'll put this code into a more useful format and post later this morning.
