Map Labeling

Labeling and Relabeling Maps

Map labeling can provide board and component names, dimensions and component part numbering. These same options are available for map creation and with post-mapping tasks.

Note: Recent changes in Fusion will automatically assign a PartNumber property to each component. This number is basically a 23-character date-timestamp. You can optionally include this part number or a sequential part number unique to the board as described below with the Include Part # option.
