PADS Software Reference Designator Rename List

1.       Engineer should specify at the beginning of the design, if the reference designators are to be renamed.

2.      Engineer should specify the direction of the rename.

         Examples:  Top to Bottom, Right to Left

                             Left to Right, Top to Bottom

3.      Engineer should specify any Reference Designators that are not to be renamed.

4.      If the engineer is extremely concerned about the flow of the renaming process, 

         a WAS/IS List should be manually generated by the creation of an ASCII text file.

        EXAMPLE:

                                                *PADS-ECO*

                                                *RENPART*

                                                U12 U1

                                                U5 U2

                                                U1 U3

                                                C9 C1

                                                C6 C2

                                                *END*

NOTE:        

                   *PADS-ECO*  should be located in the 1^st line of the ASCII text file.

                   *RENPART*  should be located on the 2^nd line.

*END*  should be at the end of the file.
