Change gate name command
NameChange Gate name.
CHANGE

CONNECT
Define which pins (Gate) relate to which pads (Footprint).
PREFIX

VALUE
In the Component editing mode, VALUE is used to specify whether the component value can be freely selected from within the schematic diagram or the layout, or whether it has a fixed specification.
On: The value can be changed from within the schematic. The component is not fully specified until a value has been assigned.
Off: The value corresponds to the Component name, including, when present, assignment of the attributes and the Footprint version (such as 74LS00N).
Even if Value is Off, the value of a component can be changed. A query checks if this action is intended. The altered value of the component remains unchanged, if the attribute or the Footprint version is altered later with CHANGE Footprint or CHANGE Attribute Set.
