This group is for users of Kicad, the amazing integrated EDA program. Not only does it capture schematics and layout PCBs, it is open source, free and runs on a range of platforms. This group concentrates on actually using Kicad, so post your questions, hints, tips and suggestions for improvements.
Hi Jean-Pierre, Since my last message I have been out of the office or busy with other activities. Last week I began testing my new PCB. I want to let you know
... First select the copper on the PCB with the the "Net Highlite Command"(+ at top of right hand panel). Draw a Zone on the Mask layer covering the are you
... If you use the "Append Board" command from the File menu in PCBNew you can add a saved board layout to the board you're working on. I use this to place
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
