PCB Editor: how show component properties on PCB

Hi there.

What is the working way to show the component Value on a PCB board ?

Tried adding in the Symbol drawing definition (dra) of the symbols a Label using the Layout>Display>Label>Value menu. Placed the placeholder, say , on Component_Value>Silkscreen_top

When I process the board, the values are properly transferred, as I can see routing the board.

Next I edit the text to match a size, whose Photo Witdth is not 0. Do the same for a text of say, the package_geometry class to test.
The Component_value class does not show up on the 3D view of the PCB, the PackageGeometry does.

So this looks like a dead end.

What am I doing wrong here?
