gEDA-user: Hierarchial refdes vs. board assembler

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I'm having a board made at the moment which uses hierarchy in its
refdes.. X3/U2, X2/R12 etc..

The assembly house who are building this didn't seem to appreciate the
"X2/" part of the refdes, apparently it is causing them problems
programming their pick and place machine.

They suggested renumbering things without the hierarchy. Apparently it
will make life much easier and prevent mistakes.

Has anyone else found assemblers with a dislike this kind of
hierarchical refdes?
