Hi, In the Post Process Script, does anyone know of a way to set the designator justification to center (horizontally and vertically) and move it to the middle of the part versus having to do it manually by clicking on the buttons and then moving the designator?  |

We would like to add this to the new V24.01 release coming up later this week, but we don't know the script syntax for the center justification of the Ref Des. ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

This can be achieved using the IPCB_Text3 interface. You can see examples here: https://github.com/Altium-Designer-addons/scripts-libraries/tree/master/Scripts%20-%20PCB/AssemblyTextPrep" rel="nofollow - https://github.com/Altium-Designer-addons/scripts-libraries/tree/master/Scripts%20-%20PCB/AssemblyTextPrep https://github.com/Altium-Designer-addons/scripts-libraries/blob/master/Scripts%20-%20PCB/AssemblyTextPrep/AssemblyTextPrep.pas#L232" rel="nofollow - https://github.com/Altium-Designer-addons/scripts-libraries/blob/master/Scripts%20-%20PCB/AssemblyTextPrep/AssemblyTextPrep.pas#L232 (It's important to enable AdvancedSnapping!) |
