Pin Names

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 15 years ago

The distance between the pin and associated name in the symbol editor

appears to be fixed and equal to 0.1" which is a rather big gap.

I looked in the "Edit" and "Options" menu items but couldn't find a way to

change this. Is it somehow possible to change this gap size?

 

Second question : vertical pins in a symbol have their name also oriented

vertically. Is there a way to chage this to horizontal? If I have one GND at

the botttom and one Vcc pin at the top of a symbol, I'd prefer to have the

names "GND" and "VCC" horizontally because in that way they don't interfere

with the names of the horizontal pins, unless I make the symbol a lot bigger

than really necessary.

 

I should add that I'm still using version 4.11 and that these remarks might

be no longer valid on more recent versions.

    It is good practice to only post your question to one group. In general most

    users will check all groups. See eagle.support for answers.

    Sorry, my mistake. I'll keep it in mind.

    Issue no. 2  Don't top post.  This is a newsgroup, not e-mail.  Of course

    when you start bottom posting you also need to remember to trim posts

    appropriately, but then things are much easier to follow.

    Even with e-mail, top-posting is a pain (and full quotes too).

    Coming to think about it - I guess the root problem is in the mail /

    newsreader software. Perhaps the mail client should show the last additions

    at the bottom when opening a mail, and not the oldest stuff on top. Since

    this does not work, and will never be changed, people tend to draw attention

    to their remarks in this "upside down" way. It's just a human workaround.
