Hi, I just started using KiCAD, and I got into a problem that appears to be a bug in the PCB module editor. (Searching the Internet for more than an hour didn't give any answers.)
Documentation says it is possible to create a new module (footprint) by not doing it from scratch but rather by using an existing one as starting point. So this is what I did: I have an empty board. I start the module editor, where I load the module "CP8" from one of the libraries (that's just an example). I want to make a new module based on that. So I make some modifications and I also change the "Reference" text field to "CP8XX"-it's supposed to be a new module. Finally, I "insert module into current board". It appears on the board. However, when I left-click on the module in the board, I see in the bottom part of the window that it still has the name "CP8". Changing the Reference field _did not_ change the module name. When I now archive this board into a new library, my shiny new module appears as "CP8" there, not as "CP8XX". Does anyone here know more about this? Any help is appreciated. Best Regards, Mathias
