Re: [kicad-users] Re: Component with differnet parts ???

[Alain M.]

Yesterday I found 2 bugs related to this:

1) in the edit pin window there is an option [ ] Common to all 
elements (may not be the exact wording, I am retranslating). This 
option is *off* but the pin is used in all elements. *Workaround*: set 
it to ON, press Ok, edit the pin again and set it to OFF. Then it 
works as expected.

2) if I edit a component like 74HC14, in the library there are 2 
connections to VCC and GND. There is nowhere to edit or delete them. 
*Workaround*: edit the file manualy

Please, anyone, tell me if there is a better way of doing it that I was 
unable to find, or if theis is a really a bug

Thanks,
Alain

 OK, i think i understand now.
 
 Thanks.
 
 But what about ground and power inputs ?
 Must i make them appeared or not ? (invisible option ?)
 
 for example, for a audio filter or an ampli op., there is +Vcc - Vcc.
 thses pins must be drawn for each parts or only the first one ?
 
 thanks

 Hi,

 using a quad nand 74hc00 per ex., you have one component with 
 4 gates. Adding an 74hc00, you always get the first gate (pins 1,
 2  3). So, you need to select which unit you want to use 
 (Edite Composant = Unite = Unit 1, 2, 3 or 4).

 When you create a new component, you have to specify the number 
 of parts or units. Default is 1.

 You can also use this feature to split a big component. 
 You can see here a xc2v3000 fpga (one part) and a xc2v3000 with 
 9 parts :
