Re-Display reference designator

Grubi
Grubi over 10 years ago

If deleted for any reason, reference designator (for example on ASSY_TOP and/or SILK_TOP) can reapear if component is unplaced and placed again.

Is there another way to display again deleted reference designator without unplace-place operation?

Thanks.

    A refresh of the symbol will work also.

    Using the Place-Update Symbols command will refresh all footprints. You can go into "placementedit" mode, then hover the mouse over a particular part, then right mouse click over the part and select "refresh symbol instance". This will update that particular part only.
