Hi, I created a PCBA with few components. Each component has a REF and Value displayed in the layout mode, I can also toggle the values on and off under ‘Render’.
However, when I go to 3D Viewer, it display the PCBA nicely, but only the references are showing (R1, J1, J2, etc).
How do I turn on the values also (e.g. TP1, TP2, 100ohm, etc)
Thanks
The value field of the default footprints is on the fabrication layer.
This layer will not appear on the physical board. (Only the silk layer is printed)
If you want values on the board you need to move the value over to the silk layer. (Most designs lack the space required for printing values.)
The 3d viewer only shows layers that will appear on the board.
