Thank you, i found it. Now i tested this "Postprocess/Create Cmp" option. I made a simple pcb with three components (i placed two on top and one on bottom). This was the output the the kicad created: --------------------------------------------------------- Cmp-Mod V01 Genere par PcbNew le 11/4/2008-08:08:33 BeginCmp TimeStamp = 47FF19B1 Reference = SO8E; ValeurCmp = VAL**; IdModule = SO8E; EndCmp BeginCmp TimeStamp = 47FF1A58 Reference = SO16L; ValeurCmp = V***; IdModule = SO16L; EndCmp BeginCmp TimeStamp = 47FF1B31 Reference = SO14E; ValeurCmp = Val****; IdModule = SO14E; EndCmp EndListe ---------------------------------------------------------- Is this all it outputs? Shouldn't be there also the component location and the orientation information? There was only one file created instead of two. Why is that?
