This command can be accessed from the PcbDrawing Editor by:

  • Right-clicking over a placed Callout in the workspace and selecting the Add Source command from the context menu. 
  • Using the Spacebar keyboard shortcut. 

Use

After launching the command, an additional source will be added to the existing Callout.
