Changing footprint text size in entire library

EvanShultz

We've been looking into our silkscreen text sizes and found we can shrink them a bit. So we'd like to do this for every component in our library.

Is there a way to automate this? We'd want to change only the ref des text on the silkscreen layer, not text on other layers.

DRA files are binary so I can't use a script. I could do it in SKILL but how to rip through the library folder, open each footprint, run the SKILL script, save the footprint, and move on to the next footprint? There's probably an easy way that I didn't think about or of which I'm not aware.

Any help would be appreciated!

    You can easily change the all the text in a board file or symbol at once. Not exactly what you're looking for but it is quick and it works.

    1. Right Click > Super Fitler > Text
    2. Edit > Change Objects
    3. Check box for Text Block
    4. Select Text Size.
    5. Highlight all text.
    This will change all the text you highlight to the size that is selected.
