Adding non-linked RefDes

dgronlu

How do I add text to the RefDes->Silkscreen Top or Bottom layers without attaching it to a component?

For instance I want to put a label on the board and then change it later, but if I assign it to some random component, changing the text later then causes that component's label to change as well.

Is there a best practice here? I want to be able to label my board but not have to add dummy components for every new piece of text I add.

Thanks,

David

    If I were adding a label to the board in silkscreen I would add it to the Board Geometry / Silkscreen class/subclass
