OrCAD User Assigned Reference Unset

MrSpock

In the last few years OrCAD schematic added a feature where when a user edits the reference designator of a part it underlines it to show its been edited.  I really wish it would not do this.  To make the underlining go away I have to select the part, right click, chose User Assigned Reference, and then Unset.  In part of my job I have to copy several pages of schematics and then change all the ref deses on all the copied pages.  This User Assigned Reference is a major PITA, easily doubling the effort of my job.

Two questions:

  1. Can I stop OrCAD from showing Unset User Assigned References?  Maybe an off switch somewhere?  This feature causes me far more problems than it solves.
  2. Is there a way to group edit User Assigned References?  I could select many parts and quickly edit this setting on all as a group.  This would be a good compromise.

Thanks.
