Mounting hole, cannot make description invisible

Kicad 5.1.0-1 Windows 10 / 64

I have a simple board on which I would like to suppress the mounting hole “value”.

I would have thought un-checking “visible” would do the trick put it does not.

I found the value cannot be empty, but I could make it a space which works but doesn’t seem right.

Am I misunderstanding the dialog box?

In the below screenshot I only have two layers showing ( Edge Cuts and F.Fab)

The visible flag definitely works for me on Linux. Can you post the board?

Yes, see attached.

The design has a custom footprint for the 9 terminal strips, however if they are not in the included cache I can send it. However the terminal strips do not have anything directly to do with the issue I am seeing.

There is nothing special about this design. It is simply a board to help me clean up the wiring on my furnace thermostats etc.

Your board has the “Hidden Text” items shown in the Layers Manager. Uncheck it to hide/show.

Thank you :slight_smile:

I went through every top menu item with no luck, guess I should have kept looking.
