You do not use the zoomed image at all. You should use the print and plot menus. The system will then work everything out based on the settings you set in the...
Hi, I've never done laser printer transfers, but I've had some luck in the past printing to confirm footprint land patterns. I just did the print with the x...
Apologies if this has been asked before. One way to make PCB's is to print the PCB template with a laser printer onto acetate. The acetate is then ironed to to...
You may also try one of the Live CD distributions of Linux and have all of the kicad stuff on a USB stick for example. I use Linux and Windoz versions of kicad...
Very well said. Any time there is a "closed" program, file format or whatever, it limits you to that program and often it makes your life harder than easier. ...

... Ok, I think I might of sorted it. I have done what you suggested and it seems to work. For the moment, atleast. When I view the board in 3D though, all I...
... I somehow knew you was going to say that. lol. I'll check my graphics drivers to see if I have the latest version, but considering I am using a Dell 1545...
Hi, since the 3D models were created with Wings3D and Wings is able to export models as POV files, I wondered if it is possible to render boards with POV (like...
As well as what Robert said, a couple of tips. Each on the main programs has a pretty good help file, and there is also a tutorial in the documents directory....
Kicad comes with a library called "device" that contains basic components such resistors ("R") and capacitors ("C"). Regards, Robert. ... No virus found in...
Hi, I'm a new user and I'm trying to draw a schematic. I can find the more complicated components for my circuit like micro controllers and voltage regulators...
I have the same problem, I can fill zone without problem on XP and windows2000, but occasionally it crashes on Vista. What I did is delete all the zone...
