Hello,
I was not able to find a converter to convert Protel schematic to KiCad so I
have been writing one.
At this stage I am only converting single sheet schematics. I have it creating
.LIB files from the data in the .ASC schematic. I am about half way through the
schematic sheet conversion.
That's why I suggested that it might prove better to replace the 8 pads
and a via with 9 in-pad thermal vias with holes small enough to prevent
wicking. However, I don't know how small that hole should be to

I recently updated Kicad to the 2010-05-05 BZR 2356 build. I found that my
custom fields (power rating, part number, tolerance, ...) on the components no
longer appear properly on the component properties. The first two custom field
values would show up on the Footprint and Datasheet fields.
