Adding a New Line on Part Labels?

Can we have more than one line on part labels?  Especially on the PCB label.  If there already is a way to add a new line to labels, please steer me in the right direction.

On a side note, Fritzing is the best and easiest design program that I have used to-date.  Please keep up the good work!

Hi Codlink,

Right-click the part label to bring up a context menu. Roll over the "Display Values" option and check or uncheck the suboptions to select which values to display. Each checked value will be displayed in a separate line in the part label.

And thanks for the kind words.

I meant for custom lines.  Is there a way to change the PCB's other labels?

Some parts (dips and generic ics, for example) you can use the pin label editor from the Inspector to change pin labels. You can also change the chip label for that same set of parts. For all other cases I can think of, you'd have to make a custom part.

Cheers,

Of course you can always pull in a text or logo item as a workaround.
