Pin Names

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 17 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be no longer valid on more recent versions.

    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).
