FIGURE 5-25 The “tPlace” layer.

We can just add text to the tPlace layer using the Text command. Use this command to add labels

that identify the two terminals of J1. Note that after selecting the Text command and entering the text
in the box, you can set the layer (“tPlace”) as well as the font size and characteristics to match those
we set earlier using the Parameter toolbar. That is,

• Layer: tPlaceGND

• Size: 0.05

• Font: Vector

• Ratio: 12

Figure 5-26 shows the text added.
