They wanted the silkscreen to match I think. I found an internal
"compromise"
This process as written below should be captured into the geda wiki. I
do think the cost of the components is a hudge cost driver for a pcb
assembly!
However, the shop I primarily use for complex hierarchical boards with
bga's of over 1000 pins has no problem with the hierarchical refdes.

I wrote the message below for a different list last year,
when someone wanted to know why getting a board built
by a CM cost so much more than the parts cost when bought
from DigiKey. It will give you lots to

I've been on the other end of this at a CM. Make sure your
designators are unique
through out a board or
Also, if you layed out a section and then duplicated it to make exact
copies their task should be easier not harder.
Program the pick and place for that section duplicate the program with

There is no shortage of assembly shops and so they tend to be willing to
work with their customers.

Hi guys,
I'm having a board made at the moment which uses hierarchy in its
refdes.. X3/U2, X2/R12 etc..
The assembly house who are building this didn't seem to appreciate the
"X2/" part of the refdes, apparently it is causing them problems
programming their pick and place machine.
They suggested
