Ref Des linkage line to part

dmorgan
dmorgan over 14 years ago

When moving Ref Des text there is a line that ties to the origin of the part. Is there any way to display this line for all parts? It's very easy to have the Ref Des swapped with two parts that are close together and not realize it.

Thanks,

 Derek

     Cant answer for OrCAD.

    In  DE HDL (WHY can't we just call this Concept?) enable the command line.

    Type :

    show att

     

    This will temporarily show attachment lines for all properties on the screen, so that you can check placement.

     Hope that helps.
