I'm wondering if there's a script or something that will allow me to change
the text size of >NAME and >VALUE in an entire library.
Most of them are using 50 or 70 mil text size, I want to change it to 24 mil
but don't want to smash every component, is there a way to do this easily?
Cheers

try: change-text-in-lbr.ulp
from the header:
#usage "<b>Change lib text sizes</b>\n"
"<p>This script loops through all packages in a library and changes the text size and ratio to new user specified values.

Thankyou!
Found it in the downloads section....
It doesn't seem to work on the schematic though?
I only get it to work on the board...
But half the work is done with the script - thankyou again

Greg,
Here's how I do it (in schematic as well as board layout)
- I use the "Select" tool to select all devices
- next I use the "Smash" command with the right mouse button to smash all
components simultaneously
- select all components again
- now use the Change>Size also with the richt mouse button to change the
size of all names and values simultaneously.
That way you don't have to change any library.
There's a drawback however : if you added text to your schematic or board,
this will be changed as well if it's within the selection
BTW, 24 mil text size on a board? I don't think any PCB manufacturer is
capable of screen printing text of that size. You'd better check with your
board mfg first.
Cheers,
Robert
