Yes, I too have tried this.
And Zuken must have known about it too, the dogs - keeping quiete about this jem.
Cheers Abhi, most useful.
So the basis is that you need to have the origin setup on the layer you want it to be on, for each component footprint that you want it to work on.
(this does not work on testpoints so they need removing from the .rep file).
This can be a quicker way than using the method I put above, I'll tel the guy I got it off too.
In essense, for each refdes on each different layer it needs an attribute on that layer named appropriatly. Then you can find & replace in the generated report file to be the same as that name & then import it in.
By the way, when searching for the report file after selecting "rinf" format, type *.* in the filename field to show all.
