Hi,

I'm somewhat new to Kicad and PCB design for that matter.? When placing
footprints on the PCB it seems that the Footprint Properties by default
have both a "Reference Designator" and an unamed property who's value is
${RFERENCE} [screen shot attached] which seem to equate to the same
thing on the resulting PCB [screen shot attached].? Are both of these
needed?? I know I can turn off the "show" property for one of them --
but I'm wondering how they different, if both are actually needed, and
if not is there a "bulk" update I can do to hide either one of them
across all the footprints without having to click into each footprint?

Thank you,
