Move multiple silkscreen items to other layer in one go

Layout
1

Hi,

I want to move a bunch of reference designators from the silkscreen layer to the fab layer. It would be nice if I could select multiple items and then hit ‘E’ for properties, but this is unavailable. It looks like I have to edit each one separately.

Is there a quicker / more convenient way of doing this? (I also searched for a plugin, but no luck.)

Thanks,
Ben

in footprint-editor (kicad v6.0.5): No, you have to do it for every single item separately.

in pcbnew (board-editor): Edit–>Edit text and graphics properties.

I also searched for a plugin …

I remember there is a plugin for such a task, but I forget the name (never used personally).

Specifically in pcbnew, I should have mentioned that.

in pcbnew (board-editor): Edit–>Edit text and graphics properties.

Ah, that works, thanks!
