This issue has been discussed for years, but no consensus could be reached how to do it. The long details are in the archives. Most developers saw it as a non problem as they always draw schematics with components, not symbols... Implying that they always know which particular components they are going to use. I would like to see a system where one assigns a component to a symbol. Say the schematic has a NPN symbol which gets PN2222 component assigned to it meaning also TO-92 footprint and 3D-model. > Is this a transitory thing, or is this the way we've chosen to set up > the official kicad libraries? Because of open source I would consider it transitory :) -Vesa _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
