How to specify location of Reference Designator in schematic component.

[budi]

A new option on Release 6.8 of Altium Designer allows you to place the designator / comment directly on the symbol and set the font size.

To enable the option to make the designator visible in Altium Designer, in the Library Editor:

1. Select 'Tools >> Document Options...'.
2. Under the options section, enable the 'Always Show Comment/Designator' checkbox.

 

Please see related Solution, for changes made in this area in the Winter 09 version of Altium Designer: "Why are the Comment and Designator fonts and colors now coming from the library?"
