It's called SWITCH_INV in the library. Regards, Robert. rocko wrote: Where the heck is the SPDT switch? I don't believe kicad doesn't have one. Something as simple as this should be easy to find, like right next to the SPST one. Please read

“What would be easier would be the ability to draw custom pad shapes with multiple drill points. That way there would only be one pad number to worry about.” The dream for me is to have the possibility with the module editor to add tracks (as in the board editor) AND dummy pads. I

Yes I mentioned the same thing a few messages up the thread. Either that or a system that allowed circuit blocks to be created. Currently I have a couple of small circuit blocks that I keep on a separate board layout, and when I want to use them I import that board into the board I am working on,

our project has prob. lost the path to the lib where you are saving the part. Eeschema maintains a local cache of lib parts in the project directory, (the .cache file) If it cannot find the part in the libs it uses whatever is in the cache. This is done to allow a project to be moved from one

Ok. I suppose that using small circuit blocks is fine to built boards without having an electrical schematic, because I do not see how you may use board blocks with a net list? I suppose to that this way do not allow pads to be very close together. Thank you, Jean-Paul

I have the schematic of the block on file as well, so everything is picked up. I do have to watch out for component numbers. Other times I've deleted the components on my circuit block and then positioned the components on the design board over them, as I said it's a bit messy, but it does save
