Virtual tag is just to avoid the component put in BOM. A typical virtual component is a edge-connector card and some microwave components which are only a drawing on the board. The footprint itself is similar to other footprints (but usually has no 3D symbol) For me I am not sure the "right way" exists. (In my designs I always put a schematic symbol for each footprint, especially mounting holes) Perhaps an option similar to options existing in import netlist dialog. Or, better, like in Altium, a dialog to validate footprints which will be removed or changed. Note: locked footprints are not removed. Basically, mounting holes (like any mechanical footprint) should be always *locked* in a good design. > > -Kristoffer > On 2017-01-11 14:00, Maciej Sumiński wrote: >> Someone on #kicad has noticed that "Perform PCB update" removes >> components that were placed only in pcbnew without a schematic symbol >> counterpart assigned.
