Subsheets don't match multi-unit element annotations. (lp:#1788976)
Original report created by Seth Hillbrand (sethh)
When re-annotating a hierarchical schematic with multiple copies of the
same sub-sheet, we don't currently match units between copies of the same
sub-sheet but we should or at least have an option to allow it.
Right now, I have a schematic with 12 sub-sheets that are copies of each
other. I need to re-order the units of a couple of quad-op amps. Ideally,
changing the unit in one sheet would change the identical unit in all of
the copies of that sub-sheet. Maybe the solution is a menu-option
(propagate multi-unit ordering?) that can synchronize the items.
Naively, I expected the annotation option "Reset existing annotations" to
clear the unit letters as well because we also have the option "Reset, but
keep order of multi-unit parts". But it didn't and doesn't seem to have a
different action. What am I missing here?
