Allegro pin Assignment

Hi - Very new pcb editor user here

Please can you help.

I am trying to add extra pins to a footprint which currently has 24 pins and want to increase to 26 pins.

I would like to rename pin numbers on this footprint?

I believe I use options tab but not sure how to go further?

Regards,

Nigel

    Hi Jacob.

    Firstly you need to go and setup the Photoplot width for the text sizes in Setup>Design Parameters, Text tab, “Setup Text Sizes”. You will see many different Text BLk which you can edit (so just change on and try different combinations),

     Then return to main screen and change text size as follows:

     Edit>Change   /  In Find Tab select Text  / In options Tab select class= Ref Des and subclass=Silkscreen Top.

    Then just select text Blk required and just click onref des you want to change.

     
    (once happy just right click done).

     Nigel.
