SMASH
Separates name and value texts from a component, so that they can be
placed individually. The size of smashed texts can also be changed
individually.

REPLACE
Replace a package with another package from any library. This is
permitted as long as you are working in a layout that is not connected to
a consistent schematic by Forward&Back Annotation. In that case you
must use CHANGE PACKAGE in order to change the package variant.

WIRE
Draw line. If used in the layers 1 through 16, the WIRE command cre

ates electrical connections. The style parameter (CHANGE) determines
the line type. The DRC and the Autorouter always treat a WIRE as a
continuousline,regardlessofwhat style isused.
TEXT
Place a text string. Use CHANGE SIZE to set the height of the text. If
the text is using a vector font, CHANGE RATIO will alter the thick

ness. CHANGE TEXT is used to alter the text itself. CHANGE
FONT alters the typeface. The option Always vector font (Options/User
Interface) shows and prints all texts in vector font, regardless of which
fontisactuallysetforaparticulartext.
It is strongly recommended to write texts in copper layers as vector font! So
you can be sure that the CAM processor's output is identical with the
