Pin name rotate with component

Jeri
Jeri over 10 years ago

Hi, I have a newbie question.

Is there a way to set pin numbers to rotate with the component?

Also is there a way to change the text of net names on pads?

Thanks

    The pin number text rotates as you rotate the part so not sure what your issue is here. Turn on the layer Package Geometry / Pin Number and you can see the pin number text. For the embedded netname, it's driven by the schematic so if the net is called ADDR3 that's what you will see in the pin and cline (track). If you want to change it open the schematic and change it there, then re-import the netlist.
