Re: [Kicad-developers] Back annotate references from PCB

Excuse me for so much questions. There's plenty of ways how it can be done, and I'm quite new, maybe I don't see some simple way. I can back up data from pcbnew which is not up to date to schematics, after that I call update pcb dialog. Somebody will want to update pcb by references and after that

I would prefer that you did ask questions rather than spending a lot of development time on a solution that would not be accepted because it breaks things. This is not a trivial problem although it may appear that way. There are plenty of ways to implement back annotation that will break things

Re: [Kicad-developers] Back annotate references from PCB

There is no need to create your own dialog. Just call the update board from schematic function before you back annotate. You will have to make a temporary copy of your board reference changes because updating from the schematic will clobber any reference changes in the board. On 11/22/19 9:13

Hi Alexander, You must ensure that all of the reference paths are up to date with the schematic before you attempt to back annotate from the board. Schematic changes can result in the footprint paths in the board being out of sync so you have to perform and update board from schematic (this code

Re: [Kicad-developers] Back annotate references from PCB

Hi Wayne, I don't want to start PCB update from eeschema straight away, because if you run back-annotation, you already changed some references in layout and you gonna lose it. And probably you can get some footprints which are not connected to any of components in schematics as there's

Re: [Kicad-developers] Back annotate references from PCB

You got it! Schematic files can be shared multiple times not only in the current schematic but multiple times in other project schematics as well. You could have a symbol in a schematic file with the same reference more than once with many different sheet paths. On 11/22/19 6:55 AM, Alexander

Hi Brian, Imagine you’re doing an audio amplifier. Your main schematic sheet has 4 subsheets: PSU, control logic, left channel and right channel. Both left channel and right channel point to the same sub-page. So there’s a single schematic symbol for each part in the left & right channel,

Hi Brian, If you double-click into the left channel you’ll see Q101. If you double-click into the right, you’ll see Q201. So it looks like there are two. But if you edit either one it goes back to a single file so both will be changed. (To be honest I’ve never used this feature, so I’m not

What Jeff described is the simplest case. Where things really get interesting is when you start sharing schematic files between projects. When this happens, there will entries in a symbol definition for each instance (sheet) of the schematic file in every project. Here is an sample symbol

Ooops, I just realized what are you own about. I wasn't aware that's it is possible to use schematic sheet twice and have different references in it according to sheet path. I never used it during PCB production :) That's not a problem I will use component "path" rather than just timestamp. Thanks

Right, such configuration could be useful. However, note that a selection of which lines (signals?) to show would be tied to the actual current state of the schematic. Nets changes names, either because user changes the names of labels, or automatically when things get reconnected and re-annotated
