[PCB_FORUM] Re: How do you make a REFDES invisible?

We sometimes use the display subclasses for other purposes.
You have been able to create a new subclass under the class refdes
for a while now.  And as long as you are changing within the same class
there is no problem.

        Couldn't you use Display_top ? I would think that most people only have
        use silkscreen and assembly layers for outputting data. Can you get away
        with only having a display_top ref des? Never tried it, if it works 
that's
        an option.
