[kicad-users] Re: How to force update of schematic file when changing part in library?

[keeneybrian]

Thanks for both of your suggestions.  Unfortunately, neither seems to be born 
out, at least in my build.  I'm using 20080825c-final on windows xp.  Any ideas 
out there about how to wipe the internal .sch cache of the part?

Thanks,
Brian

 I use the save button with black and red then the other save button that 
 looks like a disc.
 
 This will update the schematic symbol when I have both open the editor and 
 schematic.
 The netlist and checks and reanotate stuff I do not know about I re do them 
 again.
 
 I try to get done with the sch first then whenever I modify I reanotate and 
 redo the netlist clear the footprint layout or allow it to delete and 
 replace
 then move the new components in where they need to go.. let it show warnings 
 and delete  replace as nessisary.
 
 I also use freeroute autorouter heavly.

  Doesn't an ERC check enforce this ? maybe wrong but thought it did.

  When I make a change to a part in a library that's already been placed in 
  the schematic, I can't seem to get the part properties to be updated in the 
  schematic (and more importantly the netlist), even when I clear the cache. 
  In browsing the .sch file with notepad, the problem seems to be that there 
  is another copy of the part in the schematic file itself. Is there any way 
  to force a new reading of the library? Otherwise, I need to delete every 
  part and reinsert them in the schematic, which is problematic on a number 
  of levels. 
  
  Things that I'm sure of:
  1. I've cleared the cache numerous times
  2. I've made triply sure that my library is able to by found by the 
  schematic program (it's in the project root, and I've rerouted the path in 
  the config file)
  
  Any help would be much appreciated!

[kicad-users] EEschema printing error-- Net names over power symbols appear as -----

[keeneybrian]

When I print on my hp color laser printer the net names over the power symbols 
appear as little lines, like .  It doesn't do it on my BW HP color laser 
printer, but it's much less easy to read overall.  Any help would be very much 
appreciated.
