Hi All

I got the PCB design from my customer without logical schematic design. (only PCB design file)

and I need to add more sockets. so I copied the sockets with offset function.

but I don't know how to assign the refDes to each additional sockets

How can I assign them?

    If you want to add a part to board file without the logic, use Logic > Part Logic and ADD a new part. Add all the required fields and  choose Physical Device if you have device file or you can use Physical package to browse from your symbol library. After adding the part here, you can place it normally.
