[PCB_FORUM] Re: Any easy/automated way to position REFDESs for assembly drawing?

Hi Jim,

I agree...in my case these are other people's footprints, but on mine, I
should have the text placement and size all set.

But, it would be nice if there was a skill script or command that centered
the text on the symbols automagically.

Regards,

Austin

  This is probably too little too late, but I create my footprint symbols so
the assembly drawing reference designator text is aligned in the center of
the body and are center justified. This way I only have to rotate, or spin
the text on the layout for finalizing the assembly drawing.

  Hi,



  Is there any automated or easy way to get all the REFDESs positioned in
the middle of the components for an assembly drawing?
