Electronic – Eagle >Label attribute (in some Adafruit parts)

eaglefootprint

I'm using an SMA edge launch connector from Adafruit's part library. Alongside the usual >NAME and >VALUE text it also has >LABEL which I've not seen before. I can't see an obvious way of assigning the text and I can't remove it from the footprint like a name/value as it's baked into tplace. I've just removed it from the footprint.

The question is simply – does >LABEL mean something in Eagle?

For example (here WIFI_1 is the part value)

To assign a value, you simply have to set the corresponding attribute.

For LABEL then you would create a new attribute for the part in the schematic using the attribute command, set the name of the attribute as LABEL and the value as whatever you want.

Eagle will then replace the text >LABEL in the layout (and/or schematic) with the corresponding attribute value.
