Allegro - OrCAD Reuse module Procedure Problems

archive
archive over 19 years ago

Hi all

I am currently in the early stages of layout involving reuse modules.
me and my customer had one success building a reuse module ( MDD )
and re loading it to other BRD  4 times.
i checked that routing passes silk and assy Ref Des changes and even moving and changing components rotation.

then asked the customer in order to check the entire procedure to delete and add a component to the base module and to see if the changes propagate to the main BRD.
but then all kinds of problems begun. as i think they are related to the OrCAD anotation procedure. I get duplicate RefDes in the main BRD ( each module contains R20 )
we tried updating the REUSE_ID in the schematic of the module.

and i also noticed that only CS traces are copied to the modules ( other layer traces  are deleted )

has any of you passed thru this procedure with success  ? any recommendations ?

am i doing something wrong ?

any help will be appreciated

thank's
