Multiple parts for single reference designator

BK2001 over 5 years ago

Variants seem to be defined as present or not present.

Is there a variant that can assign different parts to the same reference designator? i.e. R17 can be either 0 ohm 0805 jumper or 12k ohms 0805 resistor.

The simplest way I can think of is to use two parts with the same footprint and overlay them.

Is there a more functional way of doing this? So that the variant would put the correct part in the BOM and the parts would of course have the same identical footprint.

So, it seems that in Parts Manager it is possible to link different database parts in the groups to the same refdes.

I tried it and the part numbers do change in the bom and on the schematic!
