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

    Open the filename.dra and turn on the same layer - what are they set to ? If required use the - edit spin command, set the Find to just text and make sure the Options menu has the origin set to Symbol Origin then window the pin number text, pick an origin point and only the text will rotate around the origin. For the netname size there are no settings for this - you'll just have to zoom in. For both of these options try simply hovering over the pin, you see a tooltip with information on, press the TAB key to cycle through what you see. You can customize the datatip from Setup - Datatip Customization so can get all the info you require without relying on embedded text or pin number layer.
