How can I manually adjust component numbers and names?

[spookm]

I am developing a set of circuit diagrams that have to be complementary.

Now I run into the problem that the component names change from one project to the other.

Is there a way to adjust the component numbering manually?

When I have multisim renumber the components automatically it becomes a mess.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I have been trying all kinds of solutions but most of these create error messages.

When I remove the components and rebuild part of the circuits, at a certain point multisim renumbers the components again automatically. I cannot stop that, the only option is to press "OK"...

In the attachment is my circuit diagram.

I wish to have opamps numbered U1A, U1B, U1C, U1D, U2A, U2B etc.

Further I would like to have the power pins show only on the U?A OpAmps, so I can indicate them to be connected once instead of four times.

Hi,

- To manually change the refdes(reference designator), double-click on the component and go to the Label tab.

- When you have a multi-section component like an opamp which shows the power pins on each symbol, it is not really a good idea to modify an instance of the symbol and remove these pins. When you will connect one of the pins to power, you will see that an x will appear on the remaining sections telling you that this pin is now connected.

Hope this helps.

Hello Tayyab,

Thanks,

The problem is solved. Because I had some new families with identical prefixes I could not rename the unites before. Now it is solved because the prefixes of the IC's are uniquely set to U

Your help was great!
