I trust you'll have read the reply from David on 12 Jan. by now. In case you haven't, here it is: Hi, Try one of the latest snapshots of Kicad at http://kicad.1301.cz/ All you do is overwrite the executables in your present installation (back them up first) with the ones from the downloaded snapshot archive. I'm about to try this myself so I hope it works as well. Theres a new release of Kicad being worked on at the moment. I think they are aiming for the end of January or thereabouts.

[kicad-users] Re: Any update on undo function for PCBNEW?
I do that too, even with programs that do have a good undo function. However, the major changes are not what I need the undo for. I mostly hand route my boards, and am constantly deleting some traces to try to route them better, then deciding that the original routing was better. If I delete a few traces to try a new routing and then see that is not going to make things better, I don't want to have to re-enter all the traces I just deleted. Having to think about saving before every minor change like that just puts a damper on the creative process. The undo/redo in the development version linked above seems to work fine and is just what I needed. --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Greg Dyess gregory.dy...@... wrote: To get around the lack of an undo, I always make checkpoints by saving the board just before I am abuot to do something major (read that as: stupid). If I mess up, I just close without saving and reopen the latest checkpoint. It takes some discipline, but works better than any undo. Greg From: jeffs_cc j...@...

Hello, I would like to try the latest snapshots of Kicad. However, after replacing the .exe files (news are very smaller) in the right directory, I got a message like wxbase28u_gcc.custom.dll not found. What may I do?

Re: [kicad-users] Re: Any update on undo function for PCBNEW?
David and team, Another newbie suggestion, for people who want to conveniently browse the component list, Today when I click on Place a component and then click somewhere on the schematics I get a component selection menu Then if I click on List all I go to the Select lib menu Then if I Select a library I go to the Select Component menu. But if I do not find my part in that library there is no back to Select Lib button. I have to click cancel and start all over again from the beginning. It would be convenient if I hit the back button and go on to choose some other lib in the list of libs It would useful for component browsers Yukku From: David da...@djsbriscoe.vispa.com To: kicad-users@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, January 12, 2010 5:20:26 PM Subject: [kicad-users] Re: Any update on undo function for PCBNEW? --- In kicad-users@ yahoogroups. com, jeffs_cc j...@... wrote: I tried Kicad nearly a year ago.
