Hiding PCB Designator Text

flux

Reading docs about Hide component designator text in PCB layout.

Here’s the relevant section from the Flux documentation on hiding individual silkscreen elements (which includes designator text):
Moving and Hiding Silkscreen Example 1: Hiding the silkscreen element of capacitor.
  1. First select the individual silkscreen element that you'd like to modify. Hovering over the component and left-clicking selects all of it. Instead, double-click to select the individual element within the component, or find it in the object tree, or hover and press the command key to select the element directly.
  2. Once you've selected the silkscreen element, move it from its default position. In doing so, Flux will automatically generate a new position selector-rule with an !important flag. The only way to modify individual elements (silkscreen content, pad, etc.) within a component is by using the !important flag.
  3. To hide the element once Flux has auto-generated a position rule with !important flag, add an additional enable rule and set it to false. To force the element to be hidden, add !important to it as well.

Is there a way to split the screen to show both the schematic and PCB viewports on one side each on Flux?

Reading docs about split the screen to show both the schematic and PCB viewports side by side.

Exploring multi-screen options.

Here’s the most relevant entry I found related to splitting your workspace:
  1. Distribute Across Screens or Desktops
  • Drag each tab to a different screen if you have a multi-monitor setup. This way, you can keep your schematic on one screen and the layout on another.
  • If you don’t have multiple screens, you can achieve the same effect by creating multiple virtual desktops or snapping each window side by side.
