Set markings for set of parts

#1 Post by infinitemach » 21 Sep 2022, 15:28

Is there a way to set the RefDes marking for a group of parts to "Show". I would like to do this without having to use the mouse, as there are hundreds of parts on the board.

1) Left-drag a box around the desired components or select them by holding down the [Ctrl] key and left-clicking on each individual component.
2) Right-click on one of the selected/highlighted components and choose "Properties..." in the context menu to bring up the Component Properties dialog window.
3) In the Component Properties dialog window select the [Markings] tab, then the [Silk] tab, choose "Show" in the RefDef row's Show drop-list and click on the [OK] button.
