see comments, RE: symbols, don't use reference designators, Ray/users would call it out immediately. You can generate ergonomic names for symbols and anyway R1/R2/R3 etc. will often share the same symbol. Ergonomic symbol name: "resistor" if there are multiple "resistor1", "resistor2". Always try to include the manufacturer part name and when that fails include the footprint e.g.

• BEST: NA555
• OK: chip_soic8
• BAD: chip1
• Not acceptable: U1

how can you have a symbol for simple_chip? There are many variations of chip symbols
