Hi All, How do I change the default font size (height and thickness) in the Component Libraries.
I asked this question here long ago and was told to just do the "global" edit once everything was imported, and while I do, recently, I have had a problem with not being able to do something, which brought the issue back to my mind. I added a block of 32 components, and used the global edit capability to change the size of the ref des and comment fields, and also to make the comment "hidden" Now, on these 32 components, I wanted to also "hide" the "ref des", and thought I could simply "select" my 32 components, and then chek the "hidden" box on the "designator" tab, and hit the global button so that I could say "same" (for "hidden") and also "same" for "selection", only to find out that there was no "selection" feature on the "designator - global" dialogue, and that I either had to do them all or none, and do each individually. This once again brought up the issue of why can't I controll some of these things when I make the part. I was playing around with the Export Wizard under the Edit Menu in the Component Library, and checked off everything for a component and then exported it to a spread sheet format, and noticed that the last line delt with text (which this component actually has on Mechanical 1 as part of the footprint), and I notice that it gives the Line Width as 10 mil, the Size as 60 mil, and the Font as DEFAULT. Obviously, I can actually go into the component itself and change any "text" that is actually inside the component, but I want to be able to change the "designator" and "comment" fields, either globally for the whole library, or individually for the odd component when I define it. It is just possible that this is "hard coded" in the software, but more likely it is controlled by some parameter somewhere. Anyone got any ideas.
