Reference designator, getting .Designator2

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After building a new PC and re-installing everything, I've gone to make some parts.

So using version 25.3, I've generated the build scripts for some resistors - my go to sanity check that I have the settings right.

For some reason, the reference designator text is appearing as .Designator2. I am looking to get the designator onto the assembly outline layer, sized and centered appropriately. I can't seem to figure out why I am getting the 2 suffix, I don't remember that before.

No doubt I've missed something obvious, but I can't find it.
