Hi,

I am new at working with Cadence Allegro, learning new features every time I use it.

For silk screen text / Ref Des is there any font size range.? Please help with the list if so..

Also, how can we change the spacing between the text in Silk layer.

For Ex- A  B  C  D  E -->> need to change to ABCDE. Please suggest how to do so.

Thanks.

    In allegro text will work in text block sizes, You have set the text block sizes in Setup > Design parameters > Text > Setup Text sizes.

    after setting the text block, if you want to change the text, edit>change> go to option tab check on Textblock (uncheck all) and select apprapriate text.

    Please refer below article.
