edit the pin design

autodeskguest

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

  • I was indeed referring to the implicitly generated texts for the name and

    number of each pins of a component, not the >VALUE and >NAME of the

    component itself.

     

    I was wondering if I could set somewhere the size of these text, by default

    quite large. It seems that the answer is negative. Same for the position of

    these text. I prefer a lot the look of such schematics :

    http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/diy/Schematics/Tone%20Control%20and%20EQs/Elektor%20Parametric%20EQ.gif

    where the pin number is present in the drawing (you can read it if you want

    to check something) but does not take the whole space around a component.

     

    This was just for aesthetics, not very important,

     

    Thanks,

    The implicitly generated pin names and numbers have fixed sizes. You can

    however turn them off (in the symbol) and then use text objects instead

    - but you lose flexibility for changes, since these names and numbers

    won't be automatically updated any more.

     

    I got used to the implicit sizes meanwhile...

    (The same applies to distance and orientation if the pin names.)
