Hi list,

I am trying to connect 2 GND-zones, one on the components layer and the other
one on the copper layer, using vias.

Can anyone tell me how to put this vias?

Is there a way to attach a zone with a net?

thank you,

Pedro.

hi,

when I try to load my own library (a library created by me...... ),
it popups a window with this message: "Error in X DRAW command in line
17, aborted". Then, the library is loaded but it deletes some pins....
Anybody knows which happens?

thanks, hasta luego...

Hello guys i am an Orcad 386 plus user and i am experimenting with
Kicad. I would like some help with the BOM generated by Kicad.
I would like to know if it is possible to include other fields in my
BOM as well as the 2 default referance and value.
Thanks in advance
Harish Mistry

This is a known problem with the eagle ULP script. Hopefully one day, someone
will fix it. :)

1/Rubber banding of the wires when moving components.

This feature already exists - just use "Drag Block" to move the
components. Select a component by dragging a box with the left mouse
button down. Then right-click and choose "Drag Block"

Hi,
It would also be nice to be able to move the "node's" of the wires and
break them just like the tracks in pcbnew, so you don't end up with
diagonal wires. Maybe I've missed this function but now when I drag a
component the above sugested way I have to redraw al wires to make
things look nice again.

If your selection box includes some nodes, they will be move with the component. In many cases this will achieve the desired result.

Sometimes it is difficult to find a rectangle that encompasses exactly the desired set of objects, but the feature is nevertheless very useful.

You can also use this feature to move just the ends of wires, or wire segments.

Hi,
I made a changes in new mod file, converted from EAGLE library.

If you opened new xxx.mod file, each pad description looks like:

$PAD
Sh "3" R 700 2000 0 0 0
Dr 0 0 0
At STD N 00000000
Ne 0 ""
Po 0 1000
$EndPAD

I changed a line At STD N 00000000 to
At STD N 00E0FFFF.

00E0FFFF I took from test module pads I can created.

I found a line in ULP file , where At ... is generated, but I don't
know, what to change.
Thanks
Marek

Hi,
in refer to my previous mail, I found a problem.

ULP procedure generates pads layer as '0000000', e.g.

At STD N 00000000

Normally (in KiCAD mod files) all modules have pads
placed on
00E0FFFF layer, e.g.

At STD N 00E0FFFF

So, if I changed all lines from At STD N 00000000 to
At STD N
00E0FFFF all pads are in right colour and they are
printing on the
PCB.

Marek

Don't know about this one. It can be more trouble than it is worth.

2/Highlight net to show pin labels that are connnected electrically
across a schematic.

That would be usefull especially where using labels to connect.

Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key during the drag-select step.

Hello everyone,

I am new to the group, I must first of all give a big thank you to Mr.
Jean-Pierre Charras, the man who created this wonderful program and
decided to make it available for free to everyone. I do have a few
suggestions for small improvements but I will get to that in a
different message.

I have access to ORCAD rel 9.2 and the older DOS version that I use at
work. I also have the ability to convert all of the newer ORCAD
library files into the older type ORCAD library files and from there
convert them for use as a KICAD library file. My question is can I
legally convert these files and post them in our group file section?
Would I be infringing on any ORCAD copyrights by doing this? I would
really like to help everyone out with good library files, but I also
do not want to leave myself liable.

The quicker someone can respond, the sooner I can start converting...
it will take a while as the process is pretty involved.

Hi.

INAL, but AFAIK, mostly deppends where you are. You should read Orcad
license but, again, depending where you are, it can't be enforced. For
instance, here in Brazil, I think this would be considered fair use as
no profit is intended.

Adilson.

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?

I doubt that anyone will be willing to give you a legal opinion on this issue. Nobody else wants to be liable either.

Perhaps you should read the license agreement that comes with Orcad.

Hi,
thanks for all sugestions.
I tested PCB printing using GSView with Ghostscript programs
(printing from PS file generated from Plot menu) and printing with
free PDF995 printer driver (printing from Print menu to the PDF file
and next printing it from Acrobat Reader) with very good results.
Both methods are good.

Hi all.
I am a new on the list, so I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Marek, I am radioamateur - my call is SP7DQR.
For this time I used EAGLE program for my hobby electronics

projects.

My first project in KiCAD is USB to RS232 interface (specially as

CI-

V CAT interface for ICOM radios).

I have no problem with KiCAD use (help and tests), but I stoped on
the PCB printing.
I must set 1.577 scale to print PCB in proper size. It is no

problem,

but there is a line through all page (and through PCB image, too).

I

use thermocopy method to make PCBs, so this error disqualify KiCAD

to

use.
Is any other way to print PCB ?

I use WinXP SE PL, HP InkJet 2500 and Xerox Laser Printer.

My question is, what program do you use to print a "postscript file"
once you have saved it to disc.
I tried ghostview on win 98 but it doesn't operate, just runs an
invisible window and stalls.

Thanks, Tony

I am not sure I can be much help because I run Linux. On Linux you
just open the .pd file with the file manager and click on print.
Alternatively from the command line just type

lpr filename.ps

And away it goes to the default printer.

Yeah, neat.

Ghostscript is an integral part of printing on many linux distros so
printing postscript files is handled automatically. Ghostscript and
Ghostview in their 'pure' form are a bit outdated and on my systen
ghsotscript is replaced by espgs (ESP ghostscript) whcih is designed
to operate closely with CUPS (common unix printing system) to provide
up to date postscript support to non postscript printers. See
for details.

Unfortunately I do not know what the equivalent is in Windows or even
if it is as advanced as the Linux support for postscript. This
suprises me as postscript is a mature and much used format.

Ian

Thanks for the comments. I still intend to try this out in Linux as
soon as I install the HP printer drivers.

I placed a moire over a pad. Now I can't select the
pad as Kicad
keeps selecting the moire.

I'm new to Kicad, but in many applications crtl+click
selects other / layerd objects.
