So R1 in Block/Channel A for example could get RA1 or R1A. This would be much more complex to implement. In best case I would like to have numbering like in Altium products, where the pre- and postfix could be inherented from the hierarchy. While there are options to use “sheet number x 100” or “sheet number x 1000” I would like to see “ sheet number x 10” please to keep the text shorter. I think it should be easy just to make the ERC to complain about not fully annoated schematics only if there still are question marks in the reference designator or duplicate ones (which are already flagged in the current ERC).Īnnotating schematics in a hierarchical sheet might get some improvements as well. I’ve seen there have been discussions about that topic in the past, but the solutions presented there are not really satisfying. Customers might even think there might be more IN or OUT connectors if they find a number appended. Adding a number just clutters the schematic, the BOM and the PCB print with extra numbers. connector just IN and OUT to make it clear for the user all steps thruout the design process (ERC in schematic, transfer to PCB, …) complain about the schematic not being fully annotated even if all reference designators are unique. So far I am impressed except for some minor things I think should be easy to implement: I have been using Altium Designer and Circuit Studio in the past 20 years and trying to use KiCad now.
