Being a Linux user I should have known the following!!! The problem was that the projects and sheets I was creating were in the c:/program files/kicad path in Vista. Since I am logged on as a user, I was not seeing nor updating the files.
Creating a c:/users/me/documents/kicad/ projects directory solved the problem. You don't often think of windows as having permission problems but with the "more" secure windows OS's this needs to be considered. The confusing thing is that kicad seems to ignore the problem and not report it, so you think it is working when it is not. The files appear in the Kicad browser but when you traverse to the directory they are either not visible or visible with no size and you cannot view them. In any event I think this has solved the problem. --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, "yajeed2000" <da...@...> wrote: > > Hi, > When you have added and saved your libraries in EESchema and PCBnew > you need to click on PROJECTS -> SAVE PROJECT DESCR to save everything > you have changed in your project.
