[PCB_FORUM] RE : refresh silkscreen text issue

Yes, in this case this is the right way:
Export a place_txt.txt file (export placement)
Remove all components in this file exept those you wish to be refreshed
Remove (unpace) in allegro those components
Import place_txt.txt (File-Import placement)

Tip: in order to avoid this, i create a subclass named UNUSED_Top and 
UNUSED_BOTTOM in RED_DES class
When i don't want a text on silkscreen, i change it from SILKSCREEN-TOP(BOTTOM) 
to UNUSED_xxx so i can
get it back without refreh symbol

Objet : [PCB_FORUM] refresh silkscreen text issue
 
I have 1000 components with package symbol = 0402, in my first revision for 
silkscreen placement I have deleted the violating silkscreen text on some of 
these 0402 components(around 300). Now in my new revision I need to bring back 
the silkscreen for few 0402 components since I have room for text placement. If 
i go for update package symbol checking option 'reset symbol text location' 
then this resets text on all 0402 symbols.. 

I tried the workaround of deleting and placing the components for some diodes ( 
since they r less in number) to bring the text back. Deleting and bing back 
these

anyone has some ideas..please help me out.

Thanks much in advance..
Raj.
