RefDes hierarchy separation character

#1 Post by Moris » 02 May 2020, 11:07

If you have 3 hierarchy blocks with R23 you'll have R23_1, R23_2 and R23_3
This might occupy to much space on the pcb silkscreen.
Maybe replacing _ by . helps a little bit?
R23.1, R23.2 and R23.3

It is not possible to replace _ by . to make RefDes shorter a bit. But you can edit font settings. For example, change text width to 90 or 80 %.
