Hi,

I am using CadStar Design Viewer 2020 to review a PCB design, and wonder if there's a way to show component's pin numbers.

I know Altium and Cadence can enable that feature, but not sure if it's possible with Cadstar. Currently, I have to manually click to each pad to see its pin. As the first picture below, I have to click to a pad of an IC23 to verify whether it's pin#1 or not. On the 2nd picture, the Alitum footprint can show it's pin number and description.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

ISTR that CADSTAR cannot display pad numbers for all pads, although if you hover the mouse over a pad it does display it.
You have the option "first pad" to change the colour of pad #1, this is in colours/highlights and should apply for both the design editor & viewer.
