Re: [kicad-users] Using the component POS file correctly

2010-02-02 Thread Robert
Heh - I had this exact same problem last year, and someone on the list 
kindly provided the answer.   Take a look at the module properties of 
the missing modules, and check the Attributes are set to 
"Normal+Insert".   You will probably want to go through and correct your 
library rather than just editing the placed modules; you can then use 
the "Change modules" button (Right click on the a module on the board, 
...Edit) to update your board from the library.

Regards,

Robert.

[kicad-users] Using the component POS file correctly

2010-02-01 Thread burnsrobbie
Hi Kicad has been great so far and prototype PCBs have been made.

The subcontractor wants a position file, while Kicad does offer the output, it 
seems to be losing some components

For example I have U1 -U4 on the schematic but only U1 shows on the .POS report.

I think there may be some rules or switches in PCB tool or module Editor. I 
have not yet had much luck in finding the information the manual. I think that 
the problem is mostly with footprints I created or modified.

Is there anyone in the group  who can help please?

Many thanks
