Because the footprint information can be scanned at a glance
in the schematic. The footprint needs attention just like the
value or the refdes. So it is convenient to have it visible
by default. If I don't want to see the footprint attributes in
finished design I can still hide them with "Hide specific text"
in the attributes menu.
But if it is invisible, won't it show up with âShow specific textâ in
the
same menu?
Typically, I need to look at footprints during design. Hide them
for beauty is at a later stage. So I like to have them visible by
default.
Maybe off topic, but really, why a license at all, when I really don't
care what people do with the symbols anyway?
To the law there is nothing like "no license" in a literal sense.
By the way, I was searching for information about the sym file format,
but
I didn't find much.

Can anyone point me to some place where I can learn
everything about this?
