4.9.1 Modifying Component Labels and Attributes
To assign a label and/or Reference Designator to a placed component:
1. Double-click on the component. The component’s properties dialog box appears.
2. Click the
Label tab:
3. Enter or modify the label and/or RefDes text (which must be composed of letters or
numbers only — no special characters or spaces).
4. Enter or modify the component attributes (which can be any name or value you choose to
give them). For example, you could give the component the manufacturer name or a name
that is meaningful to you such as “new resistor” or “revised May 15”.
5. Select the component attributes to display by clicking in the
Show column. Attributes will
be displayed with the component.
Note If you assign the same RefDes to more than one component, Multicap warns you that
this is not possible. Because all RefDes’s must be unique, you must change the RefDes
or Cancel before you can proceed.
6. To cancel your changes, click
Cancel. To save your changes, click OK.
Enter or modify the
RefDes and/or label
here.
Enter any name or value
you wish and have it
displayed with the
component.
