Deleted part name - How to recover it?

Former Member

Hi, I have Eagle 4.16 and after I smashed a component, in the schematic, I

accidentally deleted the part name.  How can I recover the name of the part

to show it again on the schematic?

 

thank you,

 

Guy

    Hello Guy,

     

    To do this you need to "unsmash" the part.  You hold down one of the

    modifier keys (shift I think, but check "help smash" for more info) while

    smashing to unsmash.  This will undo any smashing and or deleting of >NAME

    and >VALUE.  You can then smash again and move things around.

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.

    Why not hit the F9-Key (undo)?

    Greetings power users,

     

    As I was reading this post and looking at the Help|Smash information in

    Eagle, I thought to myself, "How would I program the Shift+Left mouse click

    in a Script?"

     

    I recalled reading about this somewhere, and since I learn so much from

    reading these forum posts, I thought I would offer what I found.

     

    In the Eagle User Manual (page 89 for version 5.0) there is a discussion

    about Right Mouse Click. Quoting from the manual, "The > character within

    parenthesis represents a right mouse click. That way one can move a whole

    group, for example:

    MOVE (> 0 0) (10 0);

    ..moves the group 10 units in the x direction."

     

    Following this is the Modifier: section where "S" represents the Shift

    key.

     

    This raises the question however, will the modifiers work if coordinates

    are not part of the command? My experimentation says NO. I tried:

     

    "SMASH J1" followed by a Shift-LeftClick of the mouse. The part unsmashed

    (moved labels returned to default positions).

     

    I tried "SMASH J1 (S);" and received the error "Invalid point: (S);"

     

    I tried "SMASH J1 (S0 0);" with no positive or negative results.

     

    "SMASH J1 (S@);" works IF the cursor is positioned over J1. If positioned

    elsewhere, the command ignores the J1 reference and unsmashes the part

    under the cursor.

     

    So, power users, comments...?
