Re: [Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

Kicad v5 has that feature, it's called the field editor. On Sun, May 20, 2018 at 5:27 PM, Andrey Kuznetsov wrote: > I agree, I had the same issue when I was doing my board, I needed a field > for all components, and I had to manually add it for every item, there was > no

Re: [Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

That discussion once again shows how people misunderstand the concept of part number. In a schematic, the part number attached to a RefDes should be unique AND NOT a manufacturer number. There should be a one to one relationship between a part number (symbol) and a physical shape, so the PCB

[Kicad-developers] rc2 tagged

Just a quick heads up, I tagged rc2. Hopefully the final countdown to the stable 5 release wont be quite as painful as the rc1 to rc2 cycle. Thank you to everyone for your hard work. I cannot be express my appreciation for all that you do to make KiCad possible. I will create a blog post

Re: [Kicad-developers] Initial rc6 development.

​The discussion of 5.x releases was delayed but perhaps seems relevant again. Should we plan for a 5.1 release as Simon suggests with a goal of working GTK3?​ I'm not sure that I agree with his preference for banning non-GTK3 patches but I do have a preference for avoiding file format changes

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

Great work Rene! Last call for any changes before I tag RC2. I wait another hour or two but I'm going to tag rc2 before I call it a night unless there is something critical that needs to get committed. On 05/20/2018 10:24 AM, Rene Pöschl wrote: > Hi all, > > as promised in my last response the

Re: [Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

I agree, I had the same issue when I was doing my board, I needed a field for all components, and I had to manually add it for every item, there was no way to add this field to all components at the same time or to have it add by default from the addition of a new component to the sheet. Which

Re: [Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

I obvviously disagree, the correct solution would be to have both. This does not hinder that, its not even the same problem. The problem is for everyone who want for example the Manufacturer Part Number will have to define a fieldname, which every time results in them abbreviating it to

Re: [Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

I dont like this, the right solution would be to allow for importing a default config into kicad for things like that, as different groups will have different policies. On Sun, May 20, 2018 at 3:31 PM, Kristoffer Ödmark < kristofferodmar...@gmail.com> wrote: > The patch should only affect first

[Kicad-developers] More default fields in schematic

Hello! I will open this can of worms again, I feel that I have to. So from what I gather we have proffessionals as the main aim in Kicad. The reason I will open this issue again is that I feel we have a collaboration issue, maybe not a mayor one. But one nonetheless. We really need more

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

Hi all, as promised in my last response the library repos are now tagged with 5.0.0-rc2 If there is another major delay we might need to introduce a rc2.1 tag or something (or accept that at that time the libs are a bit older) On 18/05/18 23:45, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: Hi Rene, On

[Kicad-developers] Length tuning hotkeys

The length tuning hotkeys (L for settings, 1 - 4 for increase/decrease spacing/amplitude) don’t work for me because the events are eaten by the status popup. I suspect this is an OSX-specific issue, but I just wanted to check before making the fix OSX-only. Steps: Create a diff pair. Route ->
