By default, cross-probing will result in the display will show the ratsnest for the selected footprint only. Selecting the same footprint again will hide its ratsnest. The local ratsnest setting for each footprint will remain in effect even after the local

in Symbol Properties Assigning Footprints While Placing Symbols Assigning Footprints with the Footprint Assignment Tool Transferring designs between schematic and PCB Update PCB from Schematic Update symbol specifies a default footprint, this footprint will be previewed in the lower right. If the symbol includes footprint filters, alternate footprints that satisfy the footprint filters can be selected selected in the footprint dropdown menu at right. After selecting a symbol to place, the symbol will be attached to the cursor. Left clicking the desired location in the schematic places the symbol into the
