Ok, so the way I eventually solved this was to set the first refdes in the element file, then paste in the subsequent parts in refdes order. The autoincrement handled it from there. The sequence is like this: LoadFrom(ElementToBuffer,packages/SYMBOLNAME) PasteBuffer(ToLayout,2000,2000,mils)

They are new components. We are panelizing a board with several variants of a tricky footprint to see which one will work best in the SMT process. Perhaps you could hack the new Import code to specify the placement of parts being added, perhaps via an Attribute() ? The default is to place
