Can I switch off the 'footprint value' display by default?

The ‘footprint value’ in the PCBnew is meaningless for me, so I always want to hide it in the PCBnew, but after I switch off the ‘footprint value’ display by manual, when I switch to another pre-setting display, the ‘footprint value’ will appear again?

Is there anyway to switch it off by default?

you can define your own layer-preset with footprint-names switched off. I have done the same.

You can also use Edit → Text and Graphics Properties, choose Values and untick Visible. Then they all will be hidden and you can control them with Hidden Text in the Objects tab.

That’s great, this is what I want.

Thank you very much.

Hi mf,

Thanks for your reply.

I know what you said, but it has a question, when I switch the pre-set to default pre-set, the value will appear agian.

The eelike’s reply is what I want, but no matter how, thanks for your reply also,
