Importing a PCB Label with text

HSID
HSID over 6 years ago

I am looking to see if there is a way to import through the schematic a netlist pcb label.

What I am looking to is is create a symbol in the schematic with a ref designator which represents the PCB part number

that would be put in etch in the pcb.

I know I can create a pcb symbol that has text in it that would be carried over in the netlist but I want to know is there a way to bring over the symbol with the

pcb number for that actual board so I do not have to edit the text everytime in the pcb layout.

Is there a way to put the pcb part number in a property of the schematic, like a resistor or capacitor value, which comes across in the netlist.

    Yes, it Is possible to have a property in a schematic symbol and then forward annotate it to a component in Allegro.
