Two variations of the Board Level Annotation Options dialog

Summary

The Board Level Annotation Options dialog allows the user to further customize annotation using either predefined or custom naming schemes.

For more information about annotation, see the Annotating the Components page.

This dialog is accessed in the following ways:

Naming Scheme - use the drop down to select a predefined naming scheme or define your own naming scheme using valid keywords. You can select any combination of valid keywords in any order and any non-alphanumeric characters to separate keywords. Choose from the keywords tabulated below:

Keyword	Definition
$RoomName	Name of the associated Room as determined by the style chosen in the Room Name Options.
$ComponentPrefix	Component Logical Designator prefix (e.g., U for U1).
$ComponentIndex	Component Logical Designator index (e.g., 1 for U1).
$ChannelPrefix	Logical Sheet Symbol Designator.
$ChannelIndex	Index you have specified to distinguish between different channels.
$ChannelAlpha	Channel Index expressed as an alpha character. This format is only useful if your design contains less than 26 channels in total, or if you are using a hierarchical designator format.
$SheetDesignator	Designator assigned to the Sheet Symbol.
$SheetNumber	The Sheet Number assigned to the Sheet. If Compiled Sheets have been annotated, this information will be used.
$DocumentNumber	The Document Number specified in Document Options.
$GlobalIndex	User defined index. You can specify the order, Start Index and/or a suffix in the Global Index Options for each schematic document. Global Index is calculated for all non-designated components. If you add new components after you have performed a board level annotation, these components will be annotated with a new Global Index and the existing components will retain their Global Index.
