I want to use standalone EESCHEMA (standalone =: run from command line not project manager) to load an old schematic.
In the project *.pro file corresponding to the old schematic I see this line: LibDir=/i/pcbs/kicad_parts;/usr/local/share/kicad/library In /i/pcbs/kicad_parts is a library that I made called mylib: /i/pcbs/kicad_parts$ ll mylib* -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 286715 Apr 16 2018 mylib.bak -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 785 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.bck -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 785 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.dcm -rw-rw---- 1 dick develop 300397 Sep 27 16:12 mylib.lib $ eeschema old-board.sch leads to a well-known dialog : Remap Symbols Whether I choose to remap or not, I don't see the *ANY* properly rendered parts in the subsequently drawn schematic. Regardless of which library they may be in. (I thought the *.pro file's LibDir was supposed to establish a "search path" for the old libraries?) At this point, I don't now how to load an old schematic using this version: Application: Eeschema Version: (5.99.0-635-ga5c7d452c), debug build Libraries: wxWidgets 3.0.4 libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1 zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1 (+libidn2/2.0.4) nghttp2/1.30.0 librtmp/2.3 Platform: Linux 4.15.0-74-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK Build Info: Build date: Jan 4 2020 19:45:12 wxWidgets: 3.0.4 (wchar_t,wx containers,compatible with 2.8) GTK+ 3.22 Boost: 1.65.1 Curl: 7.58.0 Compiler: GCC 7.4.0 with C++ ABI 1011 Build settings: KICAD_SCRIPTING=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING_PYTHON3=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON_PHOENIX=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=OFF BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON KICAD_USE_OCE=OFF KICAD_USE_OCC=OFF KICAD_SPICE=OFF KICAD_STDLIB_DEBUG=OFF KICAD_STDLIB_LIGHT_DEBUG=OFF KICAD_SANITIZE=OFF _______________________________________________ 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
