Thanks a bunch Dave! I've been looking for this for years.
I think it's script time though.

I'll just mention that there is a new User Preference Setting:
Setup > User Preferences > Placement > General > Display_Refdes_Rats
This setting will permanently display a line between the ref des and the
symbol.
I turn it off and on as needed; the screen gets very cluttered quickly.
Hope this helps.

There was a skill program on sourcelink many years ago that shows errors
for misplacement of silk features.

Hey Andy,
That's been on my wish list for a while.
I usually get into Show Element with Symbols turned on and pass over the
silk to see if the correct symbol lights up.
You can also move each text to see the "rats", and then oops out of it.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Silk Screen REF DES with correct component
Hi All,
For those not using AUTO_SILK, but use and manipulate SS ref des text
manually....... Is there a way to verify that the SS REF DES is with
its correct component? I know that sometimes when moving/rotating and
adding leader lines, there might be pilot error in that the REF DES
might be switched with an adjacent component.
Thanks,
Andy
