Can't enter values in schematic

e14 Contributor

I have created several parts but I can't enter the values on the schematic.

 

I have >VALUE on the Value layer but on the schematic it displays the device

name.

 

If  I go to the info page, the device setting is Greyed out.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks Wallace

    The devices have set "VALUE OFF" in their definition (in the library),

    that means you can't change their value.

     

    There is a switch in eaglerc.usr that allows overriding this setting.

    I can't seem to find the page with the switch.

     

    I don't have a eaglerc.usr file either ?

     

    Suggestions please.

     

    Thanks Wallace.

    Ensure you understand the section in the manual entitled "Definition of a

    Simple Resistor" (Chapter 8.1, possibly)

    It speaks of your situation where the Device Name is displayed in the Value

    field.

     

    Again in the manual, it describes how to locate the eaglerc.usr file. It's

    location will depend on how you have set up  your computing environment

     

    The switches in the eaglerc.usr file are described in the manual section

    "Options for Experts in eaglerc"(Chapter 10.6,  possibly)

    Something funny here.

     

    If I search documents and settings for eaglerc.usr - No files found.

    If I search Cadsoft, it finds the file.

     

    I had subdirectories and system selected. Looks like I needed to add Hidden

    as Cadsoft must be hidden directory.

     

    No - the whole "application data" tree is hidden.

     

    However, besides spending so much time looking for eaglerc.usr you'd

    eventually better correct the libraries in question and set VALUE to ON

    in the particular device(s)...
