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

    The convention is to read up, not down.

     

    Clearly not, as you say so yourself:

    Obviously this is a matter of localization

     

    If that's where the back-asswards vertical text orientation came from, then

    there should at least be a switch, especially since they seem to have

    chosen the uncommon convention.  I guess in German vertical text is

    generally written upwards?  But I'm using the English version of Eagle, and

    its vertical text orientation is broken.  It's been broken for a long time.

    It would be nice if they fix that.

    That's hardly a standard, but it does appear to be popular for some reason.

    I'm in the US but I generaly write dates like 10 February 2010.  In the

    computer I use strings like 2010/2/10 since storing and transmitting

    information is best done in most to least significant order.  I really hate

    to see people write dates like 10/09/08.  Is that 10 September 2008, 9

    October 2008, 8 September 2010, or something else?  That kind of ambiguity

    is irresponsible in engineering.  At the very least write the full year

    out.
