How to hide component values from a PCB design?

Is there any way to hide all component values from a PCB? I mean really hiding values, not graying them nor making them invisible on the silkscreen layer.

Thanks!

Daniel.

Well, this could be a nice feature I guess. The more the PCB grows, the more text garbage is added into.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but if you switch to the Render tab
on the "Visibles" bar you can turn off Hidden Text, Values, and
References. Is one of those not what you want?

Regards,

Robert.

Thanks Robert, but I can not find the Render tab. Which version of PCBNEW are you running? Mine is 20090216-final. Should it be under Preferences?

Thanks again,

Daniel.

The Render tab is in the latest version (year 2010) . Your version does not have it.

You need to be using the latest (2010) version.
