Concept doesn't remember reference designators when I import a lower level block in a complex hierarchical schematic.

Concept HDL 17.2

Importing a lower level block loses the reference designators and results in an un-reusable PCB layout. The box for retaining reference designators is selected. Is there an elegant way to revise a complex hierarchical schematic such that the previous PCB file is useful?

    Have you tried "Accessories->Transfer Occ. Prop. to Instance"?

    This pushes the PCB layout assignment into the schematic "logical" view so it can be reused with the updated references.  Post back if you still have an issue.
