Hi, To link all components/symbols with relevant footprints for KiCad m1r4: https://github.com/milkymist/board-m1
steps are: 1. Edited footprints(Modules) by Fped[1] which is a GUI editor tool for building footprint. Those modules are under: http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/kicad-libs/source/tree/master/modules 2. Use Makefile to convert .fpd into .mod http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/kicad-libs/source/tree/master/modules/Makefile 3. In KiCad Eeschema, clicked "Generate netlist" icon to create a .net 4. Open KiCad CvPcb and load .net to associate each component with footprints by Preferences -> Footprint library files set. 5. In CvPcb, clicked "Save the component/footprint link file (.cmp)" icon to generate link file. 6. In CvPcb, clicked "Create export file(component/footprint list, used by Eeschema to fill the footprint field of components)" icon. It is .stf 7. back in Eeshema, clicked "Import footprint selection from CvPcb in components footprint field" icon. Once done, you can easily double click each part to view its footprint name and review. While editing modules by Fped, I met couples of questions which needs related thread to post. Although just initially associated, a review work still be needed. [1] http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/fped/ Thanks, -- adam
