Hi, same problem here. I opened a gerber generated with altium and gerbview shows arc on external corner of the board. Waiting for the fix :) Thank you Marco...
... Do you mean changes to the module itself, or do you mean changes to the footprint name in EESchema in order to assign a different module? If you mean the...
... Yes, it appears that the "Import .stf file" feature will do exactly what I want. The "back annotation" description confused me because I think of...
It's a 16 pin DIL so use that Normal footprint name is DIP16-300 or the EL verson for oval pads. Don't forget that one footprint can be used with many...
Step 1: Print out the PDF file that has all of the footprints placed on one board with the name beside it. Step 2: Refer to document printed in step 1 every...
Thanks for the info, but after looking thru it im so confused, they're diagrams that kinda look like pots but after checking them out in 3D view they're not....
Hallo, it's actual development files repository. If you want to try the most current version (at your own risk :-)), go to http://kicad.1301.cz Milan...
As Greg says the pdf is very useful... If you are using "normal" pots there are two option, RV2 & RV2X4 on the first page. If these do not match your pot you...
Hi I have a serie of ERC errors telling me "Pin passive connected to Pin unspc" what does it mean, and what could be the action to take... I did'nt forget to...
when i open Pcbnew, after CVPcb, i noticed some of my led's and resistors aren't connected, no rats nest. Shouldn't every module have a connection ?...
Every connection you make should have a wire in the rats nest. Have you run an ERC on the circuit? The most common problem is that you forget to add junctions...
The DRC works by a set of rules. Unspecified pins ALWAYS generate a warning by default. You have a few options. Ignore the warning a carry on. Do NOT to use...
I always do an ERC check, till it gets to 0. Whats a good grid size? I always use the default,which i think is 50ml, should i try something smaller? BTW this...
The good grid size is one that matches the libs... Normally the default is fine. What can happen is that if you create your own parts, and use a different grid...
... I think it's dangerous to make users ignore warnings or errors. It's very easy to miss a genuine one if you're already expecting some non-zero amount of...

Warnings are just that, a warning it's up to the user to heed or ignore. Nothing sweeping about that. Modify the rules, to be done with care as I pointed out,...
in eeschema the pin has a name. in pcbnew the pin also has a name. the component and the module are independent and were made by different persons. So it is...
... What I mean is that it's easy to miss warnings if your system always generates some. You're much less likely to miss a warning if your system normally...
