It's interesting that only happen if I rescue symbols. Anyway, thanks for the help and I'll keep an eye on properly wired schematics to see if all goes OK. Thanks, Diego On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 5:23 PM, José Ignacio wrote: > This might be related to the wire

This might be related to the wire optimizer/junction management code. Eeschema used to allow degenerate connections like that, where an L was superimposed to a wire, connecting into a junction. On Sun, Nov 26, 2017 at 4:59 AM, Diego Herranz < diegoherr...@diegoherranz.com> wrote: > Please ignore

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

This is *the* fatal flaw with the cache library. User's assume it is stale symbols or a temporary copy. It is not. It is a snapshot of the current library symbols linked to the symbols in the schematic. It gets refreshed every time the schematic is saved. Once you delete this file or keep an

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

But still, you are required to save the cache file if you want portability. The decision to use the word cache was probably not so good, because it makes people think they should not back it up. But this is how it works, so pull it out of your ignorefile. Lets be pleased that the new schematic

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

One the one hand, yes, if there is a cache file you can take advantage of the fact that it is a stale copy of the old parts. On the other hand, since caches are, by definition, temporary copies of data, they don't get versioned or archived in my projects. (The kicad libraries, and binaries, were

I can confirm unconnected wires. It may be worth noting that I did not preserve the -cache.lib file when I archived the design. I also had an issue with an old asymmetric diode footprint having its anode and cathode reversed when I used it in a new design. If pin numbers in the library got

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

I stand corrected. I just looked and pin numbers are checked by position so swapped pins should get rescued. What isn't rescued is pins that changed length which is a bit surprising since that would possibly leave unconnected wires. I'm not sure why it was done this way but I guess I'll have to

The cache library and the rescue dialog should take care of this. 2017-11-23 5:02 GMT+01:00 hauptmech : > When opening an old design I noticed that the C and R symbol pin nodes > changed position (I'm guessing other symbols as well), breaking the > schematic. Did the people

[Kicad-developers] Migrating old designs best practice

When opening an old design I noticed that the C and R symbol pin nodes changed position (I'm guessing other symbols as well), breaking the schematic. Did the people who changed these symbols have a plan for migrating old designs? Is the 'rescue' supposed to handle this?
