When I place new components in my Multisim 9 schematic, they are assigned the same value in their Refdes description. How can this be fixed?

Primary Software: Electronics Workbench>>Multisim
Primary Software Version: 9.0.41
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: Electronics Workbench>>Multicap

Problem: When I place new components in my Multisim 9 schematic, they are assigned the same value in their Refdes description. How can this be fixed?

Solution: This issue was addressed in a previous Multisim 9 patch which can be installed from the EWB Support and Upgrade Utility (SUU):

1. Go to: Start >> All Programs >> Electronics Workbench >> Multisim 9 >> Check for updates
2. Follow the on-screen instructions

Once the patch is installed all new files created will no longer have the duplicated Refdes value issue, however pre-existing files will. In order to resolve this:

3. Open the Multisim schematic file
4. Go to Edit >> Select All
5. Copy the selection by going to Edit >> Copy (or pressing ctrl + C)
6. Open a new schematic by going to File >> New Schematic Capture
7. Paste the original schematic into the new page by going to Edit >> Paste (or pressing ctrl + V)

This new schematic will have the proper (non-repeating) naming convention.
