Import of "was/is" list for ref des

SiPguy

Hi, Is there a way (without using skill) to import a "was/is" list of reference designators? I have a text file with 2 columns, the WAS column has the current ref des for an APD+ design and the IS column has the new ref des I want to change to. 

Thanks in advance

  • u can simply import a netlist with new reference designators without old ones.

  • the external command 'reftxt' will read a was/is file & an input design to create a new output design, below is the contents of the help file:

    reftxt: Allows renaming of a design's refdes via a text file.

    Command line:
    reftxt <rename file.txt> <in design> [<out design>]

    If out design is not given overwrites the in design.

    Logfile: reftxt.log

    Rename file syntax; one refdes rename per line:
    <current refdes> <new refdes>
