Hi, Currently, we use a # in a component's reference to specify that it should be excluded from netlist and BOM (typically used for power symbols). It's been brought up on IRC a few times, and I've wanted it myself, that we could handle this a bit more "properly" and flexibly. It could be useful for other things besides power symbols, like IC sockets (which don't have a separate footprint, but one might want them to show up in the schematic and on the BOM).
For the upcoming new eeschema format, what about, instead of a magic character in the reference, we add actual attributes for this? in_netlist and in_bom perhaps. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
