[kicad-users] Netlist Generation and Custom Power symbols

2008-04-16 Thread tjoho65
Hello,

I cannot get the netlist generator or ERC check to accept a custom 
GND or +x.xV power symbol.

I want to have a custom GND symbol, and I removed the GND symbol from 
power.lib. 
I moved it to my own lib and changed the way it looks only.

After this, the ERC and Netlist generation no longer accepts this as 
a power net indicator, the net it is connected to simply gets 
enumerated, but never connected to e.g. the GND net.

Reverting back to the Kicad original GND symbol (renamed to avoid 
collision), works as expected.

Does Kicad only accept power symbols physically located in the 
power.lib library?

Any ideas anyone?

/S

I have managed to do what you want but it was tricky...

I suggest that you go back to the power.lib, export again and change 
only the drawings, step by step. Some things are not permited but most 
are ok...
