We have to leave the spaces for the footprint libraries. Otherwise we will break the behavior that's always been in place. I know it's not the best situation but hopefully it will be fairly short lived. On 04/13/2018 07:32 AM, Maciej Sumiński wrote: > Ok, thank you both for clarification. In

Ok, thank you both for clarification. In such case, I suppose we keep spaces enabled for footprint library and entry names and disable for symbol related names. I have found a few places that use different rules for name validation and I wanted to unify them. Cheers, Orson On 04/13/2018 01:30

Orson, You must have missed the original conversation. We cannot have spaces in symbol library nicknames until the schematic and symbol library file formats are implemented. I didn't want to make a change to the current schematic file format. Once they are in place, I will remove the spaces

Another question is whether spaces are considered valid in library item names (symbols/footprints). Should both logical library names and library items permit the same character set? Seems reasonable to me, but I need to be sure. Cheers, Orson On 04/13/2018 11:36 AM, Maciej Sumiński wrote: > I

I have just noticed that one cannot use spaces in symbol library nicknames [1], whereas they are valid for footprint library nicknames [2]. I suppose it should be unified and moved to a function (static method in LIB_ID?) to avoid valid characters sets diversion. I will fix it, but I need to know
