Having made a new revision af a print I have exchanged a few components, and some components are out of the design for good. Is there any way of making PCBNEW...
Hi, I think that none of the choices. PCBnew does not remove anything from the netlist. This is to prevent removing of parts not in the netlist such as holes. ...
... Assuming you made the net list in EESchema, remove the component in EESchema then save the netlist. That will remove the component. Then in PCBNew,...
Thank you for your answers. I've been removing the components the way Dave describes, so far. It's quite time consuming but that will have to do, thanks. ...
Hello, I'm new to KiCad, I've downloaded the last version and looked at it's features and functionality. My company is at the point where we need to decide if...
... I haven't used KiCad, so I can't say one way or the other about this package. But if you are making a critical decision for your company, and you (or...

... I don't want to beat a dead horse, but your argument above is contradicting itself. You have said that you don't have the time to fully evaluate a layout...
... I started using kicad recently but i used the autorouter in an interesting way that I may share: I place the components then run autorouter just to see...
Hi Mark, Here's my .2 cents. I have never used any other EDA package than Kicad, and I'm just starting out making circuits and boards. That said, I found...
I like it also because I can easily use it on Linux and Windows without any format changes. At home, I use Linux to develop KiCAD files which I then take it to...
Here's my two eurocent's worth. I work for a very small company, and I recently used Kicad having previously used Proteus for many years. Proteus used to...
I created a new library in a folder on desktop. I tried to create one at /usr/share/kicad/library/ but it was not possible. I think because i have no...
Hi Klemen, It is sane to create your own libraries in another directory. Every time you update Kicad, the libraries at /usr/share/kicad/library/ are...
