[Kicad-developers] some property field names are translated in kicad_pcb file

Hi! I'm currently doing some parsing of PCB files and stumbled over this: *(footprint "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_2012Metric" (layer "B.Cu")* *...* *(property "Dateiname Blatt" "some path to some schematic file")* *(property "Schaltplanname" "")* *...* * )* I'm not sure if this is on

[Kicad-developers] Dragging 45° trace in pcbnew lets the trace jump around

Hi there! I have the feeling, there's something wrong with the dragging of 45° traces. If I drag a 0 (horizontal) or 90 (vertical) trace, everything moves as expected. The 45° part lets everything jump around... (see attached video) I did not report this earlier since I thought that might be

Well, collaboration isn't so trival with a sql database either. I do work on the road. So, I'll have to have some local "cache". Doing changes to a csv and pushing them back via git is easy. And resolving conflicts with diff is easy too. To be honest, there are pros and cons to every approach.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Placing real components out of a database instead of: "Automatic assignment of footprint with a database"

Hi everyone! I'm new here in the mailing list but I'm currently building my own electronics business around KiCad which I use and love for years now. I spent the last weeks, trying to tie together procurement, PCB design, and fabrication in a single script-set. Just to have it mentioned - before
