KiCad

Re-Annotation?

Asked by Matthias

Hello,

I´m working on a bigger project, and somehow my annotation got mixed up - I used the feature for separate number blocks for each sheet, which I like very much, but unfortunatly the sheet numbers changed when I inserted further sheets which I noticed to late, so I ended up with a mixed annotation.

Is there a way to re-annotate the schematic and forward the new annotation to the schematic so the layout is not affected?

Thanks for any hints!

Regards,

Matthias

You should look into the netlist import using the timestamp instead of
the designator; it uses an 'internal' UID for the components instead of
the refdes so it should do what you need.
