Hi, I'm new to KiCAD. I've been using CAD programs for quite a while, though. Like other programs, KiCAD largely requires that I create my own components -- both in eeschema and PCBnew.
Unfortunately, KiCAD (like others) stores its libraries on my C: drive within Program Files. This is a problem! Because: (1) I work at two different networked computers and need to access a common network drive so I can use the same libraries and (2) I don't back up my C: drive since I never store any important data there, so if a computer crashes, I'd lose any data stored only on C:. I've figured out how to force KiCAD to pull libraries from my network drive, but it seems that I have to define the search path for each and every new project. That's a lot of error-prone work. Am I missing some obscure KiCAD screen that lets me change the component search path at startup? Is there maybe an even more obscure hack to change KiCAD's default startup settings to include my library and module paths? Thanks, Jim
