[PEDA] Many similar Sheet Symbols

[Jakub M.]

OK, so I have made one complete channel (PCB). Naming convention of 
parts in all channels is U100_A, C123_A for channel A, U100_B, C123_B 
for channel B and so on (18 of them).

Now what should I do to make other channels to be similar to A one?

I think that I should (more-less) copy A into some "dummy.pcb" then 
re-annotate all the parts from "..._A" to "..._B" (HOW?), delete old "B" 
parts from the original PCB and paste all from "dummy.pcb". Is that 
correct? How can I re-annotate easily all the parts? And if needed load 
the netlist.
