Oh yeah, it sure is a brazen jump :-) But it's good that Ted started with what absolutely must be learned, the creation of his own libraries. Kicad would benefit from allowing larger zoom levels. That'll show a disconnect even if ever so small. With Eagle you can zoom as far as it takes to see the speck of dirt on the back of a fly. Ted: You can name pins anyway you want but it would be good not to prefer attributes that "avoid ERC warnings". That's like putting a piece of duct tape over the check engine light in your car ;-) [...] -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/
