Changing the silkscreen text size all at once.

[Arjunan M R]

I need to change the thickness of the silkcreen texts on my board because my fab house's minimum silkscreen thickness is higher than it is on kicad as default.I can change one by one but it will take too much time.
Any other way to change all at once??

Go to File -> Board Setup
On the left, under Layers, select Text & Graphics.
Fill the table with the values you got from your board house.

Then go to Edit -> Edit Text & Graphic Properties

Under "scope" check what you want to change, e.g. references.
Under "filters" you can further limit to e.g. top silk screen.
Under "action" you specify the new values.  Here, select the bottom checkbox "Set to layer default values:".

Press OK

Hey, thanks for that information..... I've been using Kicad for a year or so now, and I will admit that I've just been "using it" and not bothering to look at the setup! Maybe time to do another round of Kicad learning!!!

Zbut if i am not mistaken, that setup is only applicable to newly added components. Not applicable to the bunch on the pcb aleeady, isn't it?

@Yansi yes the board setup stuff is meant to setup default values for future additions. That is why @bson also included the stuff about edit text & properties which is meant to update the stuff already on the board (I am however uncertain if it works on everything or on the current selection)
