Re: [kicad-users] Removing inner pads with vias

Hi, I am not sure that this is possible. Vias and through hole components have pad for every layer. Try to edit the files with a Gerber editor and trim the pads . Could you send a visual representation of the DRC ? Most likely you will have to rework the problem zones. Regards On Fri, 2008-05-16

Re: [kicad-users] Is it posible to split a single multi-part device across sheets?

Hi, Yes it is possible. Just look how opamp symbols are made in Kicad. I think that it is possible to split the part on A B C D subparts. I would use double page size but split the part is a good idea too. Remember to override the automatic part annotation for this part only so you keep it as one f

[kicad-users] Data Base system integration

Hi to all Kicad is really good CAD system with real professional look and feel , but what i think is missing for use from buisnes clients is integration of component libraries in DB and the creation of open online database libraries and the integration of the product with it. I know that such step

[kicad-users] Pad question

Hello , I would like to know if there is a way for composite pads creation. For example a copper pad assembled from few copper pads and solder paste pad , that differs from the copper one. For example a power pad witch solder paste is divided in four equal parts and a solder mask pad wich is much b

[kicad-users] Great Idea

Hi 2 all , I have the following idea for very useful KiCad new function : A netlist select function . It will do the following : When pin or label is selected with this function it will go to the netlist file and finds the net name this pin or label is associated with , and popup window in which

Yes they are global i think look at this " 1 VSS ) (2 VDD ) (3 MCLK_1 )" this is part of netlist VSS and VDD are global labels and the MCLK is local label on page 1 Good luck ;) sorry this was the original message i wrote the first time
