edit the pin design

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 15 years ago

Hello,

 

Do you know if there is a possibility to edit the library pin design ?

For design and aesthetics reasons I would like smaller text for the pin name

and number.

 

Thanks,

 

Jerome

    The implicitly generated pin names and numbers have fixed sizes.

     

    This is true of the pin names and numbers in a symbol.  It's not clear

    whether the OP is referring to these or the NAME and VALUE text.

     

    Please read the OP again.

     

    I do think there is too much space between the pin and its text label, and

    the text orientation of top and bottom pins is backwards.  The convention

    for vertical text is to read it down, not up.  Are they ever going to fix

    that?

     

    The convention is to read up, not down. Hopefully they're never going to

    change that.

     

    Obviously this is a matter of localization, just like the reversed date

    order in the US.

     

    Since there probably is no setting in the OS about vertical text

    orientation, this could eventually be solved by YAEIEU (yet another

    entry in eaglerc.usr).
