Getting renamed ref des into Capture

TH Designs

I have sorted through and figured out how to rename the ref des on a board. How do I import this info into Capture now? It only creates a .log file, not a .swp file which Capture is looking for. Renaming the .log file to .swp causes an error on import into Capture.

Using latest 16.6 version.

     Hi Steve,

     I made sure to sync the files by generating a netlist and loading the logic before renaming the parts. I worked with tech support today and they were able to get my files to work on their computers, but I was still having issues.

    I ended up grabbing an old board file and running the same process on it and it worked. I then went back to the board I'm working on and what do you know, it worked also!

    I don't know what I did, but it now works and I'm moving on..........

    Thanks,

    Tom
