If you choose "Origin" it will use components origins. If we choose "Top-left" in Component Position section of the dialog box, DipTrace will renumber components, based on the position of the top-left corner of each component. As you know there are components of different sizes and shapes on our schematic.
In RefDes Renumbering window you can specify renumbering direction: in rows or columns and choose how DipTrace is going to count components, while renumbering. Choose "Tools / RefDes Renumbering." from main menu.
Using different package features 175 But what if we need to renumber Reference Designators in some easy way, that makes it simple to navigate through the design? DipTrace has convenient "RefDes Renumbering." tool for that purpose. The reason is simple - while optimizing RefDes, program removes all empty places in the designators array, therefore C6-C24 become C5-C23 and C30 becomes C24. To correct this issue, right click on any capacitor and select "Optimize RefDes / RefDes C" - C30 becomes "C24". Now please rename your C5 to "C30", then check capacitor designators in design manager ("F3" to show/hide design manager and use "Sort components" button) – C5 and capacitors from C25 till C29 are missing.
In the same way you can place any component and rename its designator with shift of other designators. You can see in connection manager that C19 designator is not missing, because you inserted C5 and C5-C18 were shifted. 174 DipTrace Tutorial Capacitor was renamed to C5 and old C5 became C6, etc.
