     Everything is netlist driven in Allegro so you should fix the schematic or you will break synchronization.  That said, you can do it in Allegro with Logic->Net Logic

    thank you redwire,

     

    I did change in schematic. I am finishing my board. But while setting Ref. designator i found its size is too big. I am no able to place near comp. due to high density. If I make down the size I can fit them in position. Pl s let me know how to change the text size of designator in design.

     

     

    regards,

    Prasanna

     There are two ways to change the text size: Edit->Change

    Then set the find filter to Text and in the Options box deselect everything and change the text code to a different code.

    That assumes you have your text table set up properly and just need to change its code.  But if you'd rather change the text table that's done via Setup->Design Parameters, click the Text tab, click the "Setup Text Sizes" button.... play around with that table.

    Obviously you need to know the text code: Display->Element, Find=Text, click on the text ...
