I understand how eschema uses a symbol library for the components on a schematic and also how to add my own symbols. Then when I run cvpcb to asscociate footprints with those symbols I am OK with adding my own footprint library and saving the config. What puzzles me is that when I then open pcbnew, it does not know about the footprint libraries I assigned in cvpcb and I have to config pcbnew to add my own footprint library and save the config else the netlist produces errors when it is input. Am I doing something wrong or is there a good reason for this?
