Hi David, I suggest you use a "No Connect Flag" to those un-used pins. This will not generate any error when you run DRC (PCB) or ERC (SCH).
I understand what you mean, you can create your own schematic library using the library editor to create your own set or customized component but be sure to place a footprint to link your component to PCB. I hope this helps. Cheers Harold --- In [email protected], "David Bourgeois" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm creating new components for eeschema and have 2 questions. > > 1.
