Ah, I see Then you need to add as follows Process Sch:PlacePart Parameters PartType=100K |LibReference=0805 RESISTOR | Orientation=0 | Description1=metal film | Description2=1% | Description3=0.01 and so on The Descriptionx= parameter, where the x is a value from 1-16 will place the string you specify to the Parts Fields as needed I already have these defined in the read only fields with the libray parts so I only really need a button to pick the part from the library and set a default value.
