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.
