Allegro – Tip of the Week: Struggling to know if a symbol is FIXED or not?

PCBTech

Struggling to know if a symbol has a FIXED property assigned to it? You can choose to display the FIXED property as a Datatip.

Configure the Datatip using the Setup > Datatip Customization menu. Select ‘Symbol Instance’ under Object Type and enable the Value checkbox against the “Fixed” property. Hover the mouse cursor over the symbol, and you can see whether your symbol is FIXED or not.

You can also enable other symbol-related properties to be shown in the Datatip.
