Cadence/Allegro: Move reference designator on silkscreen

Jun 21, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all, Is there someone who know how I can move reference designator on the silkscreen with Cadence/Allegro 15.1? I try to place them to see it well on the PCB when parts will be there. I only find "Auto Silkscreen" and the placement is not as good as I want (different orientation, non optimal placement, etc)



Thanks in advance! Fred


Hi! Just make Ref des visible (probably it is in Package Geometry class/ Silkscreen_Top or Silkscreen_Bot subclass.) -Then click 'move' button (Shift F7) Uncheck all and check 'text' in the filter and move and rotate text. It is indicated, which component it belongs to. Autosilk is used just to create Gerber file and check it.Good luck!
