There is no limitation as long as names contain a prefix for example. Øyvind Aabling's libraries do it exactly like this and they work fine. Various footprints are needed as metallization is different for R and C and optimal pad geometry is different. Combining libraries is a good idea. -Vesa -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
