If I would like to transfer, say, the component value between Capture and Allegro this is no problem, on the package .dra file I just add a text "*" using the "Component Value" class to some reasonable layer (Component Value -> Silk Top). From the Class dropdown menu it appears that I can also grab certain other property names, like "Tolerance" or "User Part Number".
Is it possible to transfer arbitrary properties between the schematic and layout, or only these ones? In this example I have a 10 position rotary switch. Ideally I would define properties called "position1", "position2" etc. in the schematic library, give them appropriate string labels in the schematic design, and then have those labels automatically transferred to some silk layer in Allegro. Currently I just have dummy text as package geometry > silk top, and then I edit the text manually whenever I place a switch... but this has the possibility of transcription errors.
Thanks!
