Hi all,
Is there someone who know how I can move reference designator on the
silkscreen with Cadence/Allegro 15.1? I try to place them to see it
well on the PCB when parts will be there. I only find "Auto Silkscreen"
and the placement is not as good as I want (different orientation, non
optimal placement, etc)

Thanks in advance!
Fred

Hi! Just make Ref des visible (probably it is in Package Geometry class/
Silkscreen_Top or Silkscreen_Bot subclass.) -Then click 'move' button (Shift
F7) Uncheck all and check 'text' in the filter and move and rotate text. It
is indicated, which component it belongs to. Autosilk is used just to create
Gerber file and check it.Good luck!
