Orson, Are you still out there? I haven't heard from you in a while. Would you please take a look at this patch when you get a chance. It looks reasonable to me but you are the resident expert on the new tool framework. Thanks, Wayne On 6/5/2017 5:59 AM, Jean-Samuel Reynaud wrote: > Hi, >

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Standard field for manufacturer part number in schematic symbols

I feel the same way. My guess is that some of this is new users coming from other EDA apps that provide default fields which we do not provide. I personally would rather let users configure fields in the way that works best for them rather than the KiCad project forcing defaults upon them. On

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Standard field for manufacturer part number in schematic symbols

And why shouldn’t just make all those external tools the field names they look for make configurable on their end? Instead of trying to satisfy them all with one field defined on KiCad side? I guess someone who wants to setup a serious BOM workflow should be able to configure field names on both

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Standard field for manufacturer part number in schematic symbols

The main reason for the discussion ( From what i gather ) is that external tools then have a field they know will be there and can all gather around, since they know what it is called. I dont really think it needs to be hardcoded as such, it could just be a default preference to the "JP

Hi Wayne, here’s the patch. I appreciate your comments about the confusion over quasi-modal boxes. In the future, what would be a good example to follow? Perhaps DIALOG_EESCHEMA_OPTIONS? thanks Dan 0001-Made-BOM-editor-dialog-quasi-modal.patch Description: Binary data > On Jun 6, 2017, at

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Standard field for manufacturer part number in schematic symbols

Are the KiCad library developers planning on providing atomic symbol libraries? I'm guessing that is the end goal for reserving a name for an optional field. I cannot think of any other reason to do this. On 6/6/2017 9:22 AM, Kristoffer Ödmark wrote: > Hi! > > I will bump this issue again, but

Bernhard, I committed your patch. Good catch. I never even noticed this before but it definitely makes more sense to group all of the zoom buttons together. Thanks, Wayne On 6/5/2017 2:17 PM, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > Hi, > > I use KiCad for some while now, but I only recently noticed

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Standard field for manufacturer part number in schematic symbols

Hi! I will bump this issue again, but to avoid bikesheeding I will ask for a decision from leader Wayne. Should there be a default field in kicad for part number and if, what should it be named? From what i gather, a field for a part number is the only thing everyone agrees on, after that
