what is the differnce between soldcomp maskcomp ???
Maskcomp is the solder mask layer. Soldcomp is the solder paste
layer. It is used to make a stencil to apply solder paste.

then load a desired part from one
of the supplied libraries, change the working library, and then save to
my new library.

I use KICAD to design all of my boards. They vary from DIP parts
down to fine pitch (.020 pitch) parts. A PDF of the schematic and
board layout for each of my boards is available on my website.

Hi,
is there any
a separate library or module library. If you add to the
supplied libraries, you risk losing your new parts is you upgrade to a
new version of KICAD. I make a separate library for each project and
copy parts to it from the standard libraries and then create new parts
as needed.

Do the pin numbers of the schematic symbol match the pin numbers of
the pcb module. If the transister uses pins 1, 2, and 3, the module
MUST use pins 1,2, and 3. If the schematic symbol uses B, C, and E,
then the module MUST also use B, C, and E.

Use the library editor and add the footprint to the footprint field.
If there is an entry in that field, CVPCB will use that.

Hi.
Can any body tell me how set default footprints for schematic symbols
so I can avoid having to use CVpcb to set

without the schematic. But, to get rat lines and to auto route,you need
a net list which is produced from the schematic in Eeschema.

Yes. Most of my boards have components on both sides.

Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your

The .mod files are pcbnew modules. If you have WINRAR, is handles
both zip and rar files.

You need to open Eeschema and then save the file.

or Mouser for the part. Once the part is
found, they have a link to the data sheet. I then save the data sheet
in Kicad/library/doc and put a link to the file in the doc tab from lib
edit. Then a right click on the part in the schematic brings up the
data sheet.

Move New Modules(usefull if you have a board partially laid out and
changed the netlist and added modules).
.ODT is the Open Office format. Open Office is the free alternative

You need to place modules rather than individual pads. You could use the
module editor to create a module that consists of a single pad.
