how to copy right PART reference in multiple board design in 16.3

Hi sir

I put 5 pcs same PCB design in one panel.

I try to copy the first finished layout to another 4 pcs but the part reference come to R* or C* while they should be R1 or C1.

It should be complete COPY if in proper setting. I fail to find it. 

I got a solution in Manufacture--Drafting--Create Detail to acheive it.

Does any other method to complete copy part reference in such case?

    We only do the copper for one board but we make a panel drawing that is included for the fabricator if we need to control panelization.  We never copy the copper to the other panels.

    Otherwise we leave panelization up to our contract manufacturer who generally has a better plan for how their assembly process works anyway.
