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

I didn't think you could do that.  Maybe I'm thinking back too many years ago

What I do is create a couple of new subclasses under the class refdes:
top_hidden and bottom_hidden.
I just change the text to the approriate hidden subclass if I do not want it to

Or...a symbol level property "REFDES_VISIBLE" (or invisible, I
