One minor thing I just found, don’t know if it is intended this way: I have some IC on my board, most of its connections already routed. I swapped one pin of it to a different net in eeschema, exported the netlist. In pcbnew I imported the netlist (Footprint Selection = Reference, Exchange Footprint = Change, everything else = Delete). After closing the netlist dialog the IC was in move mode just like if it was a new component.
I wouldn’t have expected this, since it is not a new component. Regards, Bernhard > On 10 Jan 2016, at 22:28, Chris Pavlina <[email protected]> wrote: > > Patch committed in 6439.
