How to change font size throughout brd

Former Member

How do I change the font size for all of my component values and names on my brd.  I would rather not go to each individual one to do this.  I looked for a ULP and searched the forum and couldn't find an answer.

    It's better to do this from a script.

     

    Try these commands:

     

        display torig borig;   # Display the top and bottom origins

        group all;             # Group everything

        smash (C>0 0);         # Smash everything in the group

        display none tname bname tval bval; # OPTIONAL: limit changes to

        names and values

        group all;             # Group everything including smashed texts.

        change font vector (C>0 0); # Change the font to a vector font

        change size 50mil (C>0 0); # Change the font size

        change ratio 15 (C>0 0); # Change the width:height ratio

        display last;

     

    The "(C>0 0)" above represents a control-Right click at the origin,

    which performs the operation on everything in the currently selected group.

     

    If you save the above into a script myScriptName.scr, you can run it

    with a single command "SCR myScriptName".

     

    Set the ratio so that the line width is equal to or larger than the

    minimum silkscreen line width as published by your board house.  In the

    above case, the line width would be 50mil * 15% = 7.5 mils.
