Rock: We have been passing additional silkscreen text to Allegro for sometime. We added a silkscreen attribute to all leds, stab connectors, etc.. We have an in-house program, that when run produces a silkscreen script and text files. We replay the script file inside of Allegro and the Allegro designers use the text file to place the additional text. -----Original Message----- From: Rock Shi [mailto:rshi@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 12:07 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] help on silkscreen Hi, I have a lot of pots in a board, and I need to label each pot's name and its reference designator (e.g. R1 Vxxxx, R2 Vyyyy) on silkscreen. I don't know if I can do silkscreening from schematic side (each pot's name is passed onto layout ), and how? Can anyone teach me how to do things like this? Also, when I tried to auto silkscreen, why the "Component Value" cannot reflect the real value in schematic (10K for example), rather it only displays as "VAL"? I am running PSD 14.2 on Unix. Any help and hint would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
