RE: [kicad-users] Any plans to remove the drawing frame?

2010-06-16 Thread Donald Weissgerber
It is possible to suppress the frame when PRINTING . otherwise I do not know of any option to edit/delete the frame. Something that would be desirable. Don N9GOD Join the N9GOD team on the World Community Grid project at: http:// www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=P5GM

You must add the library to the startup library list. I do this by opening the kicad.pro project (found in the templates folder). Choose either schematic or board and add the library via the configuration menu. Remember to SAVE the configuration. As to alphabetizing . no. Because the last library a

Doug, In order for the libraries to be global, they must be added to the template.pro files, either to the .sch or .brd files depending on wether they are schematic symbols or pcb "modules". This project is usually found in the template folder. Note that the order of adding libraries will also

Bill, Most likely you will need to roll-your-own with toroids, transformers, and inductiors except for very generic sybols. It is easy to do. Just make sure to save any schematic symbols and pcb pad layouts to your own custom library. That way you won't loose them when updating the software.

Perhaps a quick, but dirty, work-around would be to create a new part, i.e. MAX232+CAPS and save it to your special library. You could do the same with pcbnew footprints. And, if you renamed the cap terminals to be the same as the appropriate MAX232 pin, it would be incorporated into the netlist, I

Fred, Set your grid spacing to whatever you like and draw one (1) diode angled 45 degrees. Then you can copy and mirror vertically and horizontally to create the remaining 3 diodes, all sized the same. I would suggest that you make sure the pins/wires land on a 50 grid for ease of use. Don
