"And what would the problem be? It would replace the package with the same value..." I do not have a "package" property - I use footprint as my package property. Footprint = the logical name of the library part (not package). When I use CvPCB to generate a cmp file - my 0402 is changed to SMD_C_

[Kicad-developers] New form of back annotation

2014-07-06 Thread Dick Hollenbeck
I added back annotation to Eeschema directly from Cvpcb when they are both running under Kicad.exe. I could have done it row by row. Instead I did it as a group batch when you "save" under cvpcb, on the idea that if you were to abort cvpcb without saving, you would not want to affect your sche
