    Maybe should be better to give the choice to import name/value Layers ? and to adjust or not according to importation ?

    Hello,
    [...]Possibility for mass toggle part name / part Value[...]
    It is possible. Choose 'Layers' from 'PCB View' toolbar - there click Annotations. From next version it will be possible to manage annotations/parts names/parts values separately.

    [...]Maybe should be better to give the choice to import name/value Layers ?[...]
    No ;).

    This is also possible. You can set this in 'Assign models' window.

    Well, Looks like appart from the fact that icons in the menu bar are missing, there is a small pb clicking on layer settings ;)

      Hello,
      You use FreeCAD 64 bit? If yes, that's why You do not have icons - I do not why they disappear in 64 bit version. I need to fix that.

      Error - what version of FreeCAD You use? Because this error is from python module not from my script. I can disabled this function but this will be annoying - this function sorts layers in graphic window.
      At the moment I used different syntax, but I don't know if it will help

        As you can check in the Red error line ;-) it's freecad 0.14. I Just see there is a 0.15 version... I can test with it... Btw only 32b version anyway atm

    Hello,
    From my point of view it would be desirable to import Eagle name & value layers in the same manner as top & bottom place layers. Then they can be globally turned on / off or not imported at all.
    If I want to adjust these texts, I would do it in the source PCB file.
    When I provide a model to Mechanical CAD people, it needs to be as simple as possible.
    The editable texts for each part just bloat the model.
    Many thanks
    Jim
