Text ALIGN attribute?

autodeskguest

Eagle now supports anchoring text strings to the current point at the usual

nine positions (edges and middle in each dimension).  That's useful.  To do

that, you use CHANGE ALIGN to set the mode.  New text is then aligned to

the current point as specified.

 

However, I can't find any way to change the alignment of a existing text

string.  I searched in HELP for ALIGN, but relevant hits are only in CHANGE

and TEXT.  I tried CHANGE ALIGN, then clicking on a text string, but it

causes no change in the alignment.  How can I do this?  If not possible, is

this a bug, not implemented yet, something else?

  • I agree with Rene, it seems to work for me too. That is, it works for text

    strings but if say I wanted to change the alignment on another text object

    like a net label then it doesn't work for that because they don't have the

    alignment specified in that way. Maybe this is your issue?

    I only tried it in the board editor, on smashed text in the tNames, bNames,

    tDocu, and bDocu layers.
