Hi, All you have to do is rename "R" and "C". In the libraries you have charge in the project, there are 2 compnents called "R" and 2 components called "C". Your projects will charge the first "R" and "C" components found in your libraries. I think you do not want 2 different components with the same name.
Regards, Pedro. > I decided that "R" and "C" was too large and used libedit to make them smaller. I have done some projects before and when I opened them in eeschema the schemas had changed! The components was replaced by the new ones - and because the pins had moved they was all disconnected from the wires. That means that all my old projects are destroyed! (well, I suppose files, are still unchanged - but I can't make a change without manually reconnecting all the parts) > > I have also made new/different shapes on some other components too like IC's and transistors. > > Is there a way to have other sizes on the components in new projects but keep the old ones in already made projects?

I've made a Java-program that uses the .sch file to change the .brd file such that the components will be placed out according to the position in eeschema - that makes the start much easier. Unfortunately I'm a beginner in Java programming and my GUI is not good or user friendly - none of you would accept it, otherwise I could have released the code here. Is there another way to automatically place modules in pcbnew? > >
