Refdes reappearance and via soldermask problems

shangwu

Question 1:
I accidently deleted a REFDES (top silkscreen class) on a component.  How do I make it to appear again?  I unplaced the component and placed it again, but didn’t help.  I can of course manually type in the text, but it does not attach to the component.

I read the follwing response, but where do I find the "Component Attachment" command?

Question 2:
How do I delete the soldermask of a via (underneath a chip)?  I displayed the soldermask only and tried deleting it, but it deletes the via itself.  I only want to get rid of the soldermask of that via.
Thanks.

    I tried refreshing the symbol, but it didn't work.  I even deleted the old symbol and replaced it, but still the same.

     

    Did you check the  "Reset symbol text location and size" option?
