Both. > > The former is fine. The latter is a recipe for expensive problems. This is less of an issue with the board file because footprints are embedded in the board file and will only change if you specifically request them the be updated on a netlist read which is not the default. This would be an issue if you made local modifications to a footprint and then updated the footprints on a netlist read even if the footprint in the library did not change. > > -a > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
