Size for References, Values and Text for the footprints

raspdroid · January 25, 2018, 8:33am

Hello,

When I read the Net file, the size of the References, Text and Values are H=1mm W=1mm

I spend hours to change it manually. Is there a way to change everything at once?

I have tried with Dimensions> Text and Drawings but not works to me.

Best regards

Text-editor or scripting will definitely work.

Or you setup your own library with the text sizes set to what you prefer.

Thanks Pedro, I had changed the values in ‘Set Footprint Field Sizes’ but I haven’t selected the checkboxs.

Best regards
