It comes from either ">Name" or > ">Value" and it is defined by the package in the library element you > are using, but the problem is in moderately dense PCB layouts it > seldom gets the text located where you want. Initial thought would be > to have the ability to move the text around, but you can't. It only > let's you move the whole device, not the text alone. (Obviously the > other option is to update your library with multiple package options, > but that is fairly impractical) > > So I end up creating text in a different layer and hidding the usual > ones most of the time, but as I said this is time consuming, error > prone and very frustrating. > > Does anyone has a better way to do this? > > -- > Ariel Rocholl > Madrid, Spain > -- > http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive > View/change your membership options at > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
