It is my preference that the designators do retain schematic page reference. I do projects with lots of parts, but only can print out Letter sized schematic pages. Makes the board a lot easier to stuff, and less clutter on the bench, if you only have to deal with one page at a time. That option should be configurable. >R1 R2 R3 >R4 R5 R6 >R7 R8 R9 >but maybe you want left to right then top to bottom like >R1 R4 R7 >R2 R5 R8 >R3 R6 R9 In my many years at a contract manufacture it has always been one of those two, I have never seen the others you listed, unless it was completely random; those sucked to work on. -- http://www.softwaresafety.net/ http://www.designer-iii.com/ http://www.unusualresearch.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
