[kicad-users] Re: new sheet
Hi Dave Like Danillo said all the information you need is in EEschema help file chapter 5.7. If you have already already used other commercial EDA packages like Protel, OrCAD, PADS, etc. you can easily relate to but if not the help file is very useful for any beginner and advance user.

Re: [kicad-users] new sheet
I have an issue also with new sheets. I have been using Kicad for about 2 years now and have never figured out how to do a flat schematic. When a schematic is only 3 or 4 pages Hierarchial is really kind of unnecessary. I have read the tutorials and helps and still don't see it. This is to say I am probably just ignorant and it is there I just don't see where. Can somebody in the Kicad world please explain how to do a flat schematic or is this just not possible? I have no issue to speak of since industry is going to hierarchial. I just would like to do the smaller designs in a reasonible page size without hierchial. On a seperate note my thanks to all who contribute to and support kicad. It is an exceptional program. In alot of ways better than EDA packages costing in the 100's if not 1000's.

Re: [kicad-users] Re: using subfolders for extra libraries
Thanks for fixing that issue Jean-Pierre! It works now (btw the svn notification list is great :-) ) On Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:54:06 +0100, Robert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That field is completely empty - I've never entered anything into it. > > Just out of curiosity, what is it intended to be used for? A default > directory for then you hit the "Add" button? It seems that the default path is stripped from the library file path when a new library is added, so if you move the libraries and change the path, it should still work. But if a library is outside the default path, it's full path is kept and the default path isn't used. David

Which is better than no power nets but this examples/eyespy (TI app note for an ATX power supply) and other designs would require edits to the symbol to provide multiple power nets such as +3v3, +5V, +5VSB, AGND, etc, information not included in the OrCad EDIF out file. > And a new revision 20071101 zipped tar file has been released for folks lacking svn access.

Here's a page that helps with gerbers and drill files, etc. It was updated in August: http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/KiCad
