I have a design that uses two modules (.mdd). When i need to make an edit, i open the .mdd file and make the changes. I save, exit and re-open the main project brd file. At this point i can Place->Update Symbols and select the module name to refresh. However sometimes there is strange behavior, that is one of my modules frequently gets disbanded in the process.
There seems to be a pattern, which is: it's always the same replica that get disbanded every time i try it. and also it works the first time i refresh after a the module is made from "place replica apply". In other words, here are the steps i follow:
1) select my symbols
2) Place replica apply
3) Now i open the .mdd and move a via for example.
4) Back to the main brd file i Place->Update Symbols
5) Select the module name and click refresh
6) All is good, both copies of the module update and i see the change.
7) With nothing else in between, i do Place->Update Symbols and refresh the same module again
8) Now just one of the module gets disbanded.
It seems like a bug to me, how i can i click refresh update symbols once and everything works, then click it again and see groups get disbanded?
I am running the latest hotfix that is 17.20.076 from May 2021. Running on Windows 10.
