Could you explain how would such an option would work, bearing in mind that the footprint is already formed when it gets to the translator?  Sounds like it might need a cross-reference table.  If it gets too complex, we should pursue it off the forum.

In our cells we use a different aspect ratio and a different font for the asembly refdes and
a different aspect ratio.

So for every cell generated with the Footprint Expert, we have to open the cell in the cell editor and change the font for the Assembly Refdes and the aspect ratio for the Silkcreen

It is not a big deal, but having settings for this (in the Options" file?) would make sense.

Siemens is our partner and Footprint Expert comes with the Xpedition installer. 

Siemens dictates the default text font for Footprint Expert. 

What did you have in mind?

Is there a way to set the default font and aspect ratio, used for assembly refdes en silkscreen when exporting the cell to Xpedition.]]> Mon, 22 Jun 2026 05:26:47 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/font-settings_topic3659_post14581.html#14581
