Is this only a concern for you for the libs themselves, or when you
actually place them on the schematic? There has recently been added
that autoplace fields in eeschema which wouldl usually place the
fields intelligently.
Thanks for the feedback.
I could not find this function in KiCad 4.0.2-4.
But I was under the impression that the field is fixed in the symbol,
which it is not.
So it is only a minor annoyance to put the fields in the desired
position when placing the component in the schematic.

Hello Wayne,
thanks for the clarification and the hope that it will be fixed eventually.
:)

This is a known issue. It cannot be fixed until the new schematic and
component library file formats are implement. The current component
library file format has no way of supporting this. The goal is to get
the new file formats implemented during the current development cycle.
Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

Hi everyone,
today I started to create a symbol for a microcontroller.
Since there are so many pins I decided to split the device to 3 gates:
One for general GPIO, one for Analog Inputs, one for supply and clock
and jtag etc.
This results in different sized symbols for each gate.
Currently there seems to be no option to place the Reference and Value
fields at different locations for each gate.
So when I place the fields on the correct location for one symbol this
results in either the fields being right accross the other symbol or too
far off the symbol and therefore clashing with other symbols in the
schematic.
There's even an old bug report for it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1334502
Are there any plans to make it possible to place the fields
independently for each gate?
Best Regards,
André
