Re: [PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Unhide part fields by default?
Funny - those are the default primitives I WAS able to make work! I can turn the default status of each Part Field Hide box on and off, and it works just like you would expect. It's when I start trying to alter the Part default values, especially Hidden Fields and Field Names, that I have problems. This is using 99SE and sp6. Mike Crist Newport Corp.

Re: [PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Unhide part fields by default?
I have the unhide part working (99SE/SP6) but I haven't been able to reset the default to 'blank' or space from its setting of '*'. Anyone have any luck resetting the default field ENTRY to something other than '*'?

Re: [PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Unhide part fields by default?
If you go into Tools-->Preferences and then to the Default Primitives tab you will find listings for each of the part fields. Unhide the fields you wish to show. Since I don't think this default primitive can be changed by placement... becuase of how they are... I don't think you need to worry about the Permanent box... this setting should remain permanent until you enter the defaults to change it again since you cannot change this during placement. -- Colby Siemer** Custom Battery Chargers ** Custom Power Supplies PowerStream Technology ** Custom UPS 140 S.

[PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Unhide part fields by default?
Is there a way (a .ini or other setting) to have e.g. Part Field 1 always be shown/not hidden? We use these fields for internal part numbers, stuffing options and some other information and it would be nice if Protel could show them by default rather than doing the uncheck-hidden-fields, unhide-part-field, recheck-hidden-fields mouse dance for each and every part.

[PEDA] [PROTEL EDA USERS]: Unhide part fields by default?
When I was trying dodgy things to bring part numbers across from the library to the schematic (described in a post yesterday) I went into Tools/Preferences/Default Primitives and un-selected Hide from the first few Part Fields in the primitives list. Despite my disappointment with other Default Primitives arrangements, that much worked well, and should accomplish what you want to do.
