It should work if the default designator is set int the sch library, e.g 10? for resistors or 20? for capacitors. Default designator is treated as a prefix and should not change when annotating.

We usually set top level sheet to the range of 0-99 and then child sheet 1 to 100-199, child sheet 2 to 200-299, second level child sheet 1 to 1000-1999, second level child sheet 2 to 2000-2999, etc. Regards, Igor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 30 July 2003 6:45 PM To: Protel EDA Forum Subject: [PEDA] PEDA] P99SE Annotation Hi My company uses an internal designator naming standard for schematic symbols. The standard is such that each type of component is assigned a prefix and each designator will be 4 digits long, eg. 1st resistor: 1001, 2nd resistor: 1002, 25th capacitor: 2025, 54th diode, 3054, etc. Is there anyway I can get P99SE to generate this automatically? I understand that it can only do 11, 12, etc, and not 1001, 1002, etc. Furthermore if I reset the designators, the prefix number gets wiped out as well. Thanks for answering my question.
