the latest release seems to work differently. In the past, I would manually
connect everything prior to the zone fill. In this latest release, Kicad makes
the connections to components during the zone fill the rats disappear, and the
drc is happy. The things it misses that I've found are:
I used the standard symbol for a NPN transistor which i suppose fits the TO-92
footprint where pin1 = emitter, pin2 = base and pin3 = collector. Now, I have
SOT-23-3 transistors, which always have pin1=base, pin2=emitter and pin3 =
collector. I didn't notice, so the base and emitter pins was
Is there a preferred method for making zone connections that removes the rats
before the zones are actually filled?
Preferences will vary by individual (this, according to my wife). My
preference is to use the ratsnest display in freerouter and use the DRC in
PCBNEW when the design comes
Hi
Is it possible to create 2 PCB's from 1 citcuit.
I want some LED's for a VU meter on a separate PCB behind the front panel.
Cheers

Pretty much the norm.
You will find that so called standards vary a bit :-)
As you use the system you will build up your own library of parts that
you have tweaked to fit your requirements.
You should save these into your own library so that it does not get
overwritten due to upgrades.

I've been meaning to post this for some time and the last message about two
boards from a single schematic prompted me.
I've created a tabbed panel with two boards (from a single schematic).
However the interface to FreeRoute won't let me export the board to the
spectra DSN file. The error
