tell how to get to it, nor does a search in help find this dialogue, how do

Hi all,
I just came accross an 'undocumented feature':
With just a schematic and a textfile open (schematic active), I printed the
schematic and then switched to the textfile. When I hit the printer button
to print the textfile the PC rebooted.
I can not remember if I printed the text some

either way there is no way (that i know of) to automatically distinguish
an SMD part from a TH part
perhaps if the schematic part had a part field filled out SMD or TH it
would be a help

Have you opened the library containing the part? You can't edit the pin
directly in the sch. It has to be done in the lib, but first you need to add
the lib to a DDB file.

However, things like guide pins may require pads rather than vias
in order to be non plated (the fact of being unplated provides a
sorting method, though).
There's also issues with connectors such as AMP's Mictor series

Seems like we have a bidding war going on here. Got a taker at $50,

I think the text editor has some problems with fonts You can set the
font that is displayed, but
I experienced this exact same problem two days ago (HP LaserJet 1200).
I wondered what caused the huge text the first time I tried to print a BOM.
