Name+Value

The problem

ECAD library authors often inherit symbols and footprints with messy label setup:

• Missing >NAME or >VALUE labels
• Labels on the wrong layer
• Inconsistent label size
• Case variants like >name, >Name, >NAME instead of the correct format

Name+Value fixes these issues in one click — for the open item or every symbol and footprint in your library.

Key features

• Fix existing labels Normalizes >NAME and >VALUE text, layer, and size (1.27 mm).
• Place missing labels Adds missing labels at standard positions: >NAME at (0, 1.27 mm), >VALUE at (0, −1.27 mm).
• Case-insensitive detection Handles >name, >Name, >NAME, >value, >Value, >VALUE, and more.
• Update current item Fix only the open symbol or footprint.
• Update entire library Batch process all symbols and footprints with a progress bar and cancel option.
• Correct ECAD layers Symbols: Names (95), Values (96). Footprints: tNames (25), tValues (27).
• Runs locally No internet required after install. No analytics. No data collection.
• Privacy-first Full privacy policy included in the app and on this site.

How it works

1. Install Name+Value from the Autodesk App Store or using the Windows installer.
2. Restart Autodesk Fusion.
3. Open an ECAD library (.lbr) or a symbol/footprint editor.
4. Go to UTILITIES → Add-ins.
5. Click Name+Value.
6. Choose Update (current symbol or footprint) or Update All (entire library).
7. Save your library after updating.

Important: Save your library before using Update All. Update All modifies every symbol and footprint in the open library.
