... What I mean with 'wishing' components is more like 'how many like to have that component' to see which components one could create / publish. It is not...
... What standard is that? Would that be the Tobias standard by any chance? Personally I rarely use Drag, so it wouldn't be part of the Robert standard. ...
A few thoughts about this... You do NOT want a database anywhere near Kicad. Fair enough if you want to create a database that REFERENCES parts and modules,...
Hi, I've been using KiCad for a few weeks, but I've just run into a problem with the libraries I've built up. Some devices that use the same package have...
It seems to be the standard ever since the Mac brought the Xerox interface to the mainstream... It is the case on pretty much every program that supports...
... maybe a Library merge and diff command would be the solution... ... yes but that appears to be something that can be solved by disclaimer: "Content to be...
Could be, but there would have to be something in the system to detect a changed lib. I can easily see the situation where a user modifies a lib/mod and saves...
the gerber file (below) was generated by the "eagle" tool (i believe, i did not produce the design) and then hand edited by me to remove all flashes except the...
have another file (approx 100 lines of gerber code) of bd with convex corners (i.e. centre point is inside board outline) that evidences problems with the...
Hey Guys, I recently installed the latest version of Kicad available on the Gentoo portage system. Unfortunately (for me) the EEschema schematic template...
I'm having a problem when I try to label nets in my schematic. The labels end up with a little dot next to them and the connections don't come through in the...
Hi, I have not followed the thread, but have you checked that the square end of the wire disappear when you connect the ground symbol? Do not connect the...
... Most applications, including Word, have no concept of wires or tracks, so I don't understand your argument. Kicad both allows you to move a component...
I finally figured out how to connect pins on the schematic. Set the grid to 5mil and it is easy to connect them using the SVN version. I think I will use Kicad...
... That is a Kicad "quirk", a point where Kicad is very different from most others. It has some aditional security and not too dificult to use but very badly...
Hi, I think, this is not the main intention of KICAD, but as of the availability of spice samples, is there also a way to use KICAD for FPGA design? Say, I...
I am new to schematic capture/board layout programs so my 2 cents worth is probably only worth 1 cent. KiCad is the only package I have considered so far,...
... yup, that's "drag". be careful as you drag such large, connected devices, in any system where the wires & busses are stretched ("rubber-banded") by the...
... When you're using an officially packaged application you should always look for a bug (and create one if there isn't one already) in your distribution's...
"In working with KiCad, I have become frustrated with the user interface as well. Perhaps the way KiCad works is the norm for such packages, maybe not. If...
Well lets agree on the fact that KiCad would benefit from a GUI makeover! And lets not forget that Autocad is a fossil from DOS ages, it is not representative...

I don't think you can be that dismissive. The point about kicad and other cad packages is that editing often requires nested actions. Autocad (if I remember...
It's been a LOOOONG time since I've used AutoCAD. I do recall it having some strange quirks about the way it did "rubber band" selections. I do recall...
I am very greatful for KiCAD and the hard work everyone has put into producing it and then giving it away for free. Having worked on large systems that have...
Yes nobody means to not show appreciation for the ingenuity that has undoubtedly gathered to create any program of such complexity as KiCad! But standards are...
... I am not sure who wrote this, but he is welcome to the developers group. It will also be beneficial to learn more about how to use kicad's interface then...
