Thanks. I should add that they want the solder mask to be positive (ie the solder mask clearance is supposed to be 0.4mm), so your cunning idea can't be applied in this case. Regards, Robert. axtz4 wrote: > --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Robert wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> I've been asked t

Hi all, I've been asked to shrink the size of the solder paste windows relative to the pads by 0.04mm, ie if a pad is a 1mm diameter circle, I've been asked to make the solder paste window 0.96mm in diameter. Does anyone know how I might achieve this please, either with kicad or via some pos

Make sure you run DRC on the circuit diagram before you run cvpcb That will highlight any errors there. I would think that it is very likely that the libs you exported are not correct for what you want to do. In Kicad, there are libs and mods. The lib is basically the schematic drawing of the dev

[kicad-users] KiCAD Newbie: missing airwires in PCBNEW

2009-04-01 Thread joerglesniak
High together, I'm new to kicad and started with a first schematic. Next step I used cvpcb to select the needed footprints of the parts (I exportet lib and mod from the Linux Eagle 5 -Version libraries needed). When opening the board, I see that maybe 20% of the airwires are missing!? I'm quit

2009-04-01 Thread earthysmell
So far my kicad experience has been great. I've got my first board almost finished and now its time to move the arrange the reference designators for my closely spaced SMT components. Every time I want to move a designator I start by right clicking and then have to specify that I want to selec
