[kicad-users] Non-Populated or Non-Installed parts...

2010-02-17 Thread john_henn...@bellsouth.net
Does anyone have a good way of showing inidividual parts as being 
'Not-Installed' or 'Not-Populated'?  That way, they appear on the schematic as 
reference only (either grayed-out, or dashed lined), they are not included on 
the bill of materials, and the footprint of the part still gets included in the 
layout of the pcb.

I use the part value of open with the reference designator. No other 
properties used. Thus the open parts would show up on the BOM that is 
easily removed. They transfer to the layout.
