Orcad Layout 7 question: changing silkscreen widths?

Mar 09, 2005 2 Replies

Is there a way in Layout (v7) to change all of the existing silkscreen objects' (obstacles and text) widths to a certain minimum value? For example, I have an existing design, with a large amount of text drawn with 6 mil lines that I would like to change to 7 mil, without changing each one by hand. Likewise for some lines and rectangle obstacles. Any way to do this?

Try this:

Enable only the layers with text you want to change (the two SS layers).

Sweep a selection box over all the text to select it all.

From the Edit menu or a right click, select "Edit Properties".

A dialog box should appear with all blank entires (because the multiple selected items may currently have different values).

Type the desired width in the appropriate box without changing any others.

Click OK (or whatever the acceptance button says).
