recovering deleted component names

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

Hi,

 

I had smashed a few components, and deleted their parts names, but now I'd like to see the names again.  Is it possible to get them back without deleting and re-adding the component?  The routing was rather complicated...

    Hi Scott,

     

    Unsmash it, that will bring back the the components names and values,

    you can then smash it again to move stuff around.

    Hmmm, I tried that, but it didn't work.  I'm on version 5.6.0 both Mac and WindowsXP

     

    **edit**  I just tried to add another of the same component to the board, and it has no name or value either, so I think it's a problem with the actual library component
