Allegro PCB editor; Auto rename refdes issue.

HI,

My issue is that when I run a Automatic rename refdes, a few parts are left out from being updated.
These parts keep their refdes, the other parts are updated, no duplicate of refdes.

I have checked properties, and these parts do not have "hard_location" properties set or alike.

To me, it looks like there is a part of the board that is not included when renamed.
(If I move the part to a different location on the board, it is included when renamed)


What and how can this be?
How do I change it?

Best Regards,

Martin.

    Hi Mike,
    Thanks for you input.
    I think my issue was due to a defined Window...
    I tried Logic -> Auto Rename Refdes> Design (rename area design) and it worked..

    Thanks for your help.
