I've read a lot of messages about unconnected nets and most say the trace is probably not connected to the center of the pin. My problem seems to be...
... I had that problem and found I had accidently put 2 pads at the same location. Try deleting the component or pad at that location and seeing if a 2nd pad...
Hello, The connection tool doesn't care about zones. Though in a real pcb the signal is connected, it is not logically connected from the connection tool point...
I've not seen an answer to this, but I hope this at least partially answers your question. I'm a long-time user of Proteus, largely because I couldn't find ...
Hi Robert, Thanks for your sharing! I definitely should spend time to learn kicad. Panson ... of DOS ... and ... couple ... behind. ... I ... day, ... ...
Pedro, Thanks, for the rapid reply. I didn't have time to work on it last night, but I will tonight. Just to make sure I understand. Connecting pins to an...
brainerd, Thanks, for the rapid reply. I didn't have time to work on it last night, but I will tonight. I'll give that a try and let you know if it worked. ...
... Power planes are a bit of a weak point with KiCAD, and my only major bugbear. Obviously the dozens of power nodes will be scattered all over the board,...
... Hi, Personally, I do not find that it is really a limitation. For questions of electromagnetic compatibility, the ground plane is very important, it should...
Hi, ... Yes, the connecting tool does not recognize zones. No matter the layer the zone belongs to. ... Well, you need to figure out the outline of the zone,...
Pedro, Makes perfect sense. Thanks for you help. Auld.Timer Pedro Martín <pkicad@...> wrote: Hi, ... Yes, the connecting tool does not recognize zones....
Robert, Thanks for the reply. Power and ground on a two layer can be a challenge, especially if you have to do it last. Good luck. Auld.Timer Danilo Uccelli...
Thanks Auld.Timer. The power tracks are a real hassle when you discover from the DRC you've missed out a via and you have to start shunting things around. ...
I am Marcelo Pessoa ! Last week I had my first contact with Kicad and I am very happy with it! I am an old user of Windraft and Winboard, a pair of tools...
Pcbnew crashes when I draw on the pcbedges or drawing layer. This has been verified on two separate installations of kicad, on two separate PCs, both running...
... Hi, Look at QCAD (2D) Open source http://www.qcad.org. There is too a very beatifull 3D software, ALIBRE (see http://www.alibre.com) which is not open...
Can you make it occur with an empty, new test board? Basically, tell us how to reproduce the problem *exactly*, even if that means sending us a *.brd file to...
I think empty boards work ok, as I routinely put drawings etc on them. This is the largest board I have attempted with kicad though. I send you a board file...
attachment was cleaned off, thats bad for us, no thank you to yahoo. please get it to me some other way, preferably using the new bug reporting database, which...
... I tested with the latest build at sourceforge, and it appears to work fine. I was a bit worried about using anything else than the latest stable release...
Pedro, I finally have all the no connections fixed, but when I fill the zone it avoids the traces on that layer. When I put the cursor on a pin connected to...
Well, I have never had this problem. Be sure you higligth the net before tracing the zone. This will tell pcbnwe that the zone belongs to that net. I have just...
As far as wishlist items go, I think one big change to high-contrast mode would solve problems like this. As it is now, zones and tracks are greyed out in HC...
