Just to be clear, DJ was talking about the case where R1## are on page 1,
R2## on page 2, etc and was suggesting that a board level renumbering
wouldn't mess with the 1st digit. It is this particular case where you're
trying to maintain some of the schematic numbering where I wondered if
renumbering from the layout made sense. In the case were you're globally
renumbering from layout I can certainly see that it would be a preference
for some people.
In this day of automation the part numbering on the PCB may not be as big
a deal as it once was...back in the day the board stuffers had people
sitting on row after row of benches stuffing parts into the PCB and
sending them off to wave soldering. It was a good idea to keep part
numbers in a logical order so that they weren't searching for the next
part to stuff on the board.
But even when I do protos I find myself lost on the board if there isn't a
logical order.
I will see if I can squeeze in some time to look at the example code to
perform this task.
ok. I actually made a little more progress, but there are some details
left on what it should do to be worked out.

Good point ;-)
