This can be achieved using the IPCB_Text3 interface. You can see examples here:

(It's important to enable AdvancedSnapping!)

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.

Hi rrix,

Did you find any way to center the designator?

Hi to all,

Yes it is a really nice question!!!

 I use to center my designators and I have to do it manually too.

I was unable to find the way.

I hope anyone could help us.

Regards,
David

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?
