Hi @Anonymous 

 

I hope you are doing well. Generally, the font size of name and value can be changed in Properties dialog (Right Click on the name or value and choose Properties ) by Size  in 2d PCB. Did you try that before?
I am not sure if I misunderstand something here. If you still can't change the font size, please leave your comment. Thank you very much!

 

Best Regards

That's my work plane, with the properties of the component open. still not able to change the size of the part name U4 and value LM5009MMX/NOPB. It distorts the worksheet. I tried following your direction but was unable to see it

1. Click Reset in Selection Filter

2.Check items Selection Filter are all selected (In your screenshot, only wire is selected )

3. Check the '+' of Name and Value shows up 

4. Choose the '+' of Name and Value to select it -> Right Click -> Choose Properties -> Change Size in it

Hi @srikUPCUK,

You can use the Filter from Design Manager, selection and the Inspector. Please see the attached movie snapshot.

I hope this helps.
