Attached Automation code is to renumber RefDes of components in active sheet of DxDesigner.
When nothing is selected - RefDes of all components are renumbered
When one or more components are selected - RefDes of selected components are renumbered.
A prompt dialog asking beginning number is followed by running the code, and the result of renumbering after completion pops up after completion.
It can be achived if you combine this script with John's one - How to visit each schematic sheet in DxDesigner 2007.x.

One point is you will need to set another rule if you want to assign different beginning number for each sheet. If this is the case,
http://communities.mentor.com/docs/DOC-1507 could be an alternative.
Hello,
This script is very useful, thanks a lot for sharing it!
But I need one more functionality. After one run, all components in the active sheet are renamed, what is asked, good!
After adding a new component in the sheet, if this script is executed one time again on this sheet, all components placed after this new component are renamed, what is not very nice when you have started peer review and layout.
So I'm looking for a script able to renumber RefDes in a sheet from an offset like this one above and able to renumber new components only those which are not in the range.
Is someone know if this kind of script already exists ?
I have never made such script, I'm a complete beginner in object programming and vbs script, so any information, links, advice will be appreciated.
I'm using Expedition 7.9.1 version.
Thanks a lot..
Paul.
Is there any chance you'd extend this script to be able to renumber RefDes in the whole design?
