duplicate RefDes

Hi All,

Using SPB16.3.

This is my first schematic capture in Orcad. My schematic is 25 sheets and growing. I combined two smaller schematics to make one big schematic, and my question is: How do I know if I'm creating a duplicate RefDes? I intentionally labeled two resistors as R100, and got no warnings about it. Then I ran a DRC with the (Report identical part references) box checked. It still didn't return an error. Is there a way, other than the RMB/Edit Object Properties spreadsheet, to find parts with the same RefDes? Better yet, is there a setting that will prevent this in the first place? TIA!

There is a physcial rule check that looks for this. Make sure you check the box for physcial rules. The create netlist will also check for this.
