All I wanted to say is that whatever method is used to fix the power pin
problem an auto-renumber (any method) should not touch the chosen
packages. When I tried it did, it assigned other refdeses to some of the
parts sans power pins.

55 is ok, can be done by hand if needed, but most of the time I must
renumber the whole chebang. That is to make it easier for service guys
to find parts on a large board. Also, some sheets need to contain a
whole big circuit in order to show a complete high voltage generator and
such. HV gens are rarely under 200 parts just for that sheet.
