The 'Component name' command is used to modify the name of an existing component
on a drawing. The 'Component
name' command opens
the 'Component

menu, from which you can select the desired modification command.
The 'Component name' command is used to modify the name of an existing component
on a drawing. The 'Component
name' command opens
the 'Component
name'
menu, from which you can select the desired modification command.
Here you can change, delete or move the name; rotate it 90°; enlarge or reduce its size; or offset it from the cursor position. After selecting the desired modification command, from the 'Component name' menu, identify the specific component you wish to modify, using the left mouse button (or <Enter> key).
If you are modifying the name, the existing name appears in the prompt field, at the bottom of the screen, ready for modification. After making the required changes, accept them with the left mouse button (or <Enter> key) and then position the text as required.
Hint
Remember that if you wish the name to be invisible in the drawing, place a '!' in front of it. The name remains visible until it has been positioned.
If the first sign (or the second one, if the name begins with '!') is a certain character, the component is not included in the material list. You can set this sign in the settings for the material list.
Tip
The parts in the libraries have names that are generally valid (e.g. NO 1 pole). These names also appear in the material list (except if you are working with the Mega module which uses information from the database). Therefore it is a good idea to give parts, that are often used in a library, appropriate names.
