PCB Layout CAD : Various Convenient Functions

Creating Attribute Text

The Attribute command is used to create an attribute text to a specified component on a PCB sheet. This allows you to place multiple attribute texts including references for each component on your design.

This allows you to copy existing component attributes and place multiple attribute texts for each component on a PCB document. This is useful when you wish to additionally create references to generate an assembly drawing file.
