Re: [Kicad-developers] Migrating old designs best practice

Hi, Related to this, I'm migrating an old design (~2 month old nightly) to the current master. First I faced some problem with '/' characters ( https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg31705.html) but there have been some improvements since then so I'm trying again. When opening the

Hi Andy, Thank you for your clear reply. I also worked for more than 40 years in the professional side of electronics, so I will say that I can be biased by that fact. I see that you’re using “symbol” and I agree wit that. The schematic use symbols. In my work life (mostly in two different

Re: [Kicad-developers] terms clarification

Andy, I disagree with your statement that component and part are the same thing. A component is a term used for the generic part, like a 10k resistor, a 7474 digital IC, a 741 op amp, etc.. A part on the opposite side is a one to one relationship, unique to a single supplier. So you cannot

Hi Seth, I tried this with interf_u demo shipped with the source code. There are four capacitors in the left bottom corner - try dragging one of the middle ones out. If you cannot reproduce the problem, I will try to shoot a video. Cheers, Orson On 11/25/2017 03:58 PM, Seth Hillbrand wrote: >

Please keep in mind that contributors list is for devs who contributed significant amounts (this is at the discretion of the project leader) of code, doc, images, etc. to KiCad. Contributing a minor patch or two does not justify having your name in the contributors list. If you have made

Hi Orson- Thanks for the test and the clarification of the documentation. On the schematic, I can't seem to recreate the issue you document in the image. Is the example schematic one you can share? Best- Seth On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 6:50 AM, Maciej Sumiński wrote: >

That was quick. Thank you Orson for taking care of this feature. I often use math expressions in entry fields not only in Kicad and I am glad that this is an official feature now. - Michael On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 10:12 PM, Maciej Suminski wrote: > Great, I have just
