Changing PCB Decal Pin Numbers

DonlAZ
DonlAZ over 13 years ago

I searched and kept coming up with Zero results.

I have an existing decal and want to change the pin numbering without having to delete and add the pins again with a differnt number for the pins ie vreg versus mossfet. Is there a simple way to do this?

    Thanks, I tried that and as soon as I select Change the option to select a pin goes away in the find window. I'm able to select a pin UNTIL I select change. I must be doing something wrong?

    Try this:

    Edit-Text

    Make sure you have Package Geometry - Pin Number selected for the active Class / Sub Class

    Then click on the pin text and type in the new number.

     This will work assuming you are editing the footprint .dra file as Steve points out.
