Eagle component name shows with '$' sign

Hi,

When I create a component, and specify its name as “>NAME” and set this attibute in the tNames layer, once added to a schematic, this component will show with the following name “U$20”.

The $ sign is not supposed to show… How to get the name to display without the $ sign?

Thanks,

Jean

Use the “Info” button to change the name of the device in the schematic editor.

When you’re creating/editing the ‘device’ in the library, click the ‘Prefix’ button to set the prefix. For example, set the prefix to ‘IC’ if you’re making an MCU part. When you add the MCU, it should be named IC1, IC2, etc. depending on how many ‘IC’ parts you have.

If you don’t set a prefix, it will automatically use ‘U$’ as the prefix.
