The Refit Reference Designators and Reorder Reference Designators commands have received significant usability improvements. Previously, users faced issues such as unexpected results from the Refit Reference Designators command, confusion over selecting components instead of reference designators for the Reorder Reference Designators command, and lack of control over leader length. These issues have now been resolved.

  • Both commands are now easily accessible from the mini toolbar, and tooltips have been updated for better guidance.
  • The commands act on selected components or labels, and if nothing is selected, the operation affects everything.
  • The limit_ref_des_label_reorder configuration option is now set to “yes” by default and is also available as a checkbox in the Cables Display Settings dialog box.

  • A new configuration option, cables_reorder_ref_des_len, allows you to control the leader length for reference designators.
  • Refit Reference Designators has been updated for improved label placement on the screen.
