I think grefdes is what I remembered reading about. I have now tried it and in general, it does a nice job. Now I need to learn some Perl to understand it better. It does not seem to understand about schematic hierarchy however. It renames/renumbers even refdes names for the hierarchy

When creating a hierarchy you end up with refdes numbers with the top level refdes of the circuit symbol, a slash, and then the underlying refdes such as X101/R102. I would like to end up with refdes on the top level of R1, R2, etc. and parts from the underlying schematic be R101, R102,

Yes, exactly. I thought I had seen something about someone else having done this before. There was something about changing the refdes from the composite sheet/part style into a flat numbering system. Maybe I'm just dreaming. Anyway, I'll take a look at grefdes tomorrow and see what I can

I really don't like loosing the hierarchy information. It would be nice if you could just get pcb to put the refdes without the hierarchy string into the silkscreen. The hierarchy info I build into the silkscreen by drawing boxes around each section and adding the hierarchy string as text inside

I had put the source= attribute in the symbol for the underlying schematic page. That was enough for the proper hierarchy operations except for the drc and netlist generation. As per John's sample schematics, I added a source= attribute on each of the instantiated symbols at the top level

My symbol, that I created, that represents my lower level schematic has pins with only pin numbers, pinseq numbers, and pin labels. The pin labels match the refdes on the IO connectors on the underlying schematic. That is the way it was done on the gTAG example. I tried assigning pintypes to

Continuing my checking, I have found that *all* the nets on the lower level schematics are showing up in the net list file twice, first as separate nets and then again as included in the proper nets with all the pins from the lower levels combined with the top level connections. The reason

Actually, I have to take that back, the nets do show up correctly connected for all of the IOs, but the pins on the lower level schematic also show up in the net list as nets with only a single pin. So those nets in question are actually in the net list twice, once as single pin nets and
