renaming refdes

masamasa
masamasa over 3 years ago

hello

is there a way to rename reference designators?

i would like to rename a refdes from CC1 to CC3, for instance, where CC3 is not yet assigned.

when i try to rename it, it says, "symbol is already assigned."

    Instead of using Logic>Assign Refdes

    try using Logic>Part Logic..., pick the component, change the refdes to an unused value, then pick the Modify button, followed by the OK button
