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 prefer a lot the look of such schematics :

     

    http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/diy/Schematics/Tone%20Control%20an

    d%20EQs/Elektor%20Parametric%20EQ.gif

     

     

    As do I. BTW, those schematics are made with Altium Designer (not sure what

    version). In AD (all the way back to Protel99) the size and offset of both

    the pin label and pin number is controlled globally, the visibility and

    color of these are controlled per pin.

    IIRC a similar set of possibilities was used by PADS, but both of them also

    have a ridiculous large default offset for pin labels and items IMO.

    Then again, these programs are in a different league...

     

    A nice feature for Eagle would be the ability to scale (tiny, small,

    normal, large?) the dot and clock symbols: they are currently a tad too

    large for my taste. Together with controllable offset and orientation for

    both pin names and numbers, very compact yet readable symbols can be made.
