I’ll report the “space in a label” issue since I found that one. Trying to convert a text with spaces should have probably thrown an What say you report the bug about the connection square (reference this thread on the bug tracker for the devs to follow up) since you found it. The text that I used has spaces, however one is prevented from using spaces when creating labels. Note, however, I did also find another potential issue. (Just out of chuckles, I did try with a multi-line text and the convert option in the RMB menu didn’t even show.) My guess is it isn’t acting like a label, but there is something that isn’t updated to remove the square glyph from the anchor point. I put the square connection dot on a wire while it was text and it didn’t disappear as if an electrical connection was made, so I didn’t bother to create a netlist to see if the text was acting like a label. Even running ERC doesn’t clean the square connection point from the text. Converting to any of the other types of labels and back to text doesn’t get rid of the square connection point. It is the little sibling to FontLab Studio 5, so it has most of the same tools, plus the same interface used to create most of the world’s commercial fonts. Moving or editing the text doesn’t remove the connection point. TypeTool 3 is FontLab basic font editor for Windows (and for macOS up to 10.14 Mojave). The color goes to “text blue” of both the text and the square connection point. Select the Type Tool and double-click on the artboard. ![]() By Adam Twardoch on in News Edit: Updated on Match 20. Fontographer 5 and TypeTool 3 on macOS 10.15 Catalina. Click on Type Tool and the cursor will change to a text box. 2 is an integrated font editor for Mac and Windows that helps you create fonts from start to finish, from a simple design to a complex project, and brings a spark of magic into type design. (The connection square not initially showing might be an indication of a refresh issue?).Īfter placing the label back down the label finally looks as expected.Īgain using the RMB menu to convert, this time back to a text. To type a text in the Illustrator we will use the Type Tool which is in the Tool Panel. Hovering over the new label, I press M to move it and the cursor snaps to the lower left and the connection point appears. The text goes black as expected but the square connection point never appears. Simply put, I was converting labels to text/comments as the program allows, but the conversion wasn’t executing like I believe it should. ![]() This text did not have the little anchor boxes on the lower edge of the characters like the text did when I converted the labels to text. To check that something in KiCad hadn’t changed that now made text behave more like labels for some reason, I created text using the text tool. That’s when I noticed the labels had changed to text but they still had the little anchor boxes (to “attach” them to the wire?) on the lower edge like labels normally do. The user interface of TypeTool will be now in its default state. Rather than use the text tool I decided to use the convert to text function (right-click popup “Change to”) to convert the label to text. ![]() When I deleted those wires I decided to re-use 2 of those labels as comments/text in other places on the schematic. As I stated in my original posting, I had created some labels that I had “attached” to wires.
