<u>In Boards and Schematics</u>
<p>
Elements can be assigned a value, e.g. '1k' for a resistor or '10uF'
for a capacitor. This is done with the VALUE command. The
command selects an element and opens a popup menu that allows you
to enter or to change a value.
<p>
If you type in a value before you select an element, then all of the subsequently
selected elements receive this value. This is very useful if you want
for instance a number of resistors to have the same value.
<p>
If the parameters name and value are specified, the
element name gets the specified value.
<p>
<b>Example</b>
<pre>
VALUE R1 10k R2 100k
</pre>
In this case more than one element has been assigned a value. This
possibility can be used in script files:
<pre>
VALUE R1   10k \
      R2  100k \
      R3  5.6k \
      C1  10uF \
      C2  22nF \
      ...
</pre>
The '\' prevents the following line from being mistaken for an EAGLE
key word.
<p>
<u>In Device Mode</u>
<p>
If the VALUE command is used in the device edit mode, the parameters
ON and OFF may be used:
<p>
On: Permits the actual value to be changed in the schematic.
<p>
Off: Automatically enters the actual device name into the schematic
(e.g.74LS00N). The user can only modify this value after a confirmation.
