I thought that was part of the connectivity stuff that Jon was working on (it certainly wasn't me, and I don't know if there is another Ian contributing code right now). I remember seeing some email threads on real-time updates to the information in Eeschema.
The wishlist item that Wayne mentioned is [1]. Brian filed that a while ago because he had created a tool to do the back annotation based on the geography of the board. I don't know where he is with porting it into the KiCad codebase right now, but you should definitely reach out to him and coordinate work so that you don't duplicate effort. -Ian [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1748205 On Wed, Nov 6, 2019 at 1:47 PM Simon Richter <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On Wed, Nov 06, 2019 at 08:26:52AM -0500, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > > > > May I implement some back annotation feature from PCB to schematic? > > > You are welcome to contribute to KiCad.
