Reordering Reference Designator Labels
When turning on the reference designator labels in a large assembly, the labels may appear disorganized. Use the Reorder Reference Designators option to orient the labels to the boundary box of the relevant group of designated components.
1. Click in the Graphics toolbar to display the reference designators.
2. Select a designated component from the model tree or graphics window.
 
* If you do not select electrical components, all reference designator in the model are reordered.
3. Click the arrow next to Reference Designators and click Reorder Reference Designators, to reposition the labels.

After Reordering
As you zoom into the model you will see the labels more clearly as they will not overlap on one another.
 
* The refit and reorder options do not affect the manually positioned labels. Set the limit_ref_des_label_reorder configuration option to no to reposition the reference designators.
