Pin Names

autodeskguest

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be no longer valid on more recent versions.

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

    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.
