Reference designator display width on symbols

Carvey
Carvey over 16 years ago

Hello

 

I somehow stumbled on to how to display the above with width, other that 1 pixel, when viewing them in the layout file.

There is another layout person here who has their reference designators (thin) 1 pixel width.

I have found a section in the display design parameters and unchecked that box that says display at 1 pixel width.

This still does not display any line width to the reference designators.

I haven't been able to figure out what I did to make the text appear like the actual silkscreen with.

We have assigned an undefined line width in the FILM CONTROL AREA that when viewed after ploting shows the width.

Can someone jog my short term memory to do this in the layout file as well.

thanks

    Assign the appropriate Photo width for the text block that you're using.
