Stop designator increment on copy/paste?
Stop designator increment on copy/paste?
(OP)
Hi all, my first post.
re: Protel 99se
I'm really hoping that someone can tell me how I can stop the auto designator increment when copy/pasting multiple copies of pcbs onto a production panel. I'm sure it has a simple solution, its just that I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks.

e-edit
c-copy
Pick a point of reference. To paste it now do
e-edit
and here instead of p-paste try
a-paste special
a dialog will appear
if you click on duplicate designator you shouldn't get the (copy) addition to the part designator.
Paste special also works well for taking an entire layer copying it and pasting it to a new layer.Say you highlight all on top layer, then copy, then change your active layer to bottom, then paste special and paste on current layer.
The previous top is now on bottom.
