[PCB_FORUM] Re: PIN_NUMBER visibility

My pin numbers show up when I turn the Class/subclass Package Geom/ 
Pin_number on.  It's just that the pads are on top of the pin numbers so I 
have to turn the pads off to see the pin numbers.  Is there a way to have 
the pin numbers show up on top of the pads?

Thanks!

Hey Garrett,
 
It's just the Class/Subclass Package Geometry/Pin_Number, just make it 
visible.  BTW, you will see pin numbers for both top and bottom parts, so 
it's kind of confusing if you have a dense design with parts on both 
sides.  Also, if any of your symbols are a little old, the pin numbers 
will not show up.  I believe you would have to run update on the symbols 
(or go into each one and do a "save"), then update the symbols in your 
design.  I haven't done this yet, so when I want to know a pin number, I 
just do a Show Element.
 
Good luck!

Hello.  I am running 15.2.  How do you turn on the pin_number so you can 
see it over the pads? 
Thanks!
