[Share] Summary: How to display component values in Allegro Layout

Sometimes you need to display the value of a component in Layout, for example, you need to display the name of each key in a matrix keyboard. These names are saved in the Value item in the component properties (Edit properties...) in Orcad. I found a solution after searching for related posts on this site. The steps are summarized as follows:

1. First confirm that the value in orcad is set

2. When creating a component library (Package symbol) in Allegro, you need to add Ref. The two most commonly used ones are to click "Label Refdes", then select "Ref Des" in "Active calss", and select "Assembly top" and "Silkscreen Top" in "Sub class". If you want to display the value, it is very simple. Still in the state of adding "Label Refdes", select "component value" in "active class", "Silkcreen Top" in "sub class", and then write a character in the component library, such as S*.

3. After importing the netlist and placing the component into the layout, just select silkscreen_Top under color/visibility -> Component -> component value to display the value you assigned to the component in orcad^_^

Isn't it simple? Haha
