Andy Thanks for your answer, when i do a 'whereis' on kicad after installing the version in software center i get kicad: /usr/bin/kicad /usr/lib/kicad /usr/bin/X11/kicad /usr/share/kicad

The idea is to make a patent required to employ the excess of lawyers in the USA. Some here will remember Don Lancaster ( used to have columns in many electronicss magazines ) who has written the

Ubuntu has been known to make the odd mess-up from time to time, so that might be a possibility. For an install, this is what I do: (on SUSE) ** You MUST be root ** Kicad lives in usr/local there is a

Tried multiple things; first off INSTALL.TXT refers to a non-existant "linux" directory which i assume to be the BIN directory. Nevertheless none of the files will execute after changing permissions;

I know you already fixed it, but in case it happens again, even easier is to select "move" from the pop-up menu, press & release one of the cursor keys, then just move the mouse - the window will

Thanks, that worked!

Yeah, I see what you both mean about shape not really mattering - thanks! I suspect numbering does matter, though - else how would pick-and-place machines know which end is which?? Oh, well, that's

Yes Protel sometimes was Prohell because of it (weird library stuff). (LOL) PCAD isn't too much better but Protel did have some nice editing features in the schematic which KiCAD lacks. One of which

I don't care about the pad shape, but I do want a bar across the component body outline at the cathode end - matching the marking on the real component (although I do see that the diode footprint I

Hi, I always check pin1 and pin2, or pinA and pinB wth all components, and I change module or component numbering to fit what I need. This way I have made my own library. See that diode footprints are

Try right-clicking the icon that indicates the application is active and select "Move" (as long as W7 is similar to older versions), then use the keypad arrows to move the invisible image back onto

Hi. I am not sure if this is a HW, Win7 (64 bit) or Kicad problem, however I have only observed the problem in Kicad. I have a laptop that I sometimes connect to an external monitor. I often

It's only a convention, you don't have to follow it. It's one that I never use if I am designing my own modules I just use the same shape throughout. When I was laying out PCB's with pad and tape you

Protection? <laughs> There is only one law in China: "Don't challenge the Party". If you remember that, you can do pretty much anything else. If you sell your project into the Chinese market, don't be

Mitch, This is fascinating. Can you tell us anything about protection of the circuit design itself (i.e., the "schematic") in China? -Mithat

Hi... I'm trying to get up to speed with KiCad, and it's going pretty well. 8^) One thing that bothers me, though, is the footprint/module for diodes as presented in the standard library. In the

I think you raise a good point in the moral dimension, but in the legal dimension there is no copyright protection on PCBs.

Make sure that you ADD ypur module library to cvpcb AND pcbnew. One or the other is prob missing. Andy "tmortus" <tom_mort@...> wrote:

I have a circuit board layout in eeschema and pcbnew that was just about complete. When I went to use free router as I was importing and exporting the file I got some errors that I thought were the
