Most printer drivers will let you grow or shrink to fit the paper available. Obviously, it wouldn't be much use shrinking an A0 drawing onto an A4 sheet, but A3 -> A4 is usually fine. -- Regards, Tony

Don't forget that KiCad can sort the numbering of the RefDes in vertical or horizontal sequence. If you require a particular numbering pattern, best do it manually from the start. Many of my

I think you need start with finding a real switch. Then compare datasheet with footprint. -- Kind regards, Victor

Thanks, Andy. That's what I did, eventually.

So I found out. The hard way. Actually, my schematic is too wide for a single width of the drawing sheet, so I've had to wrap it into two rows, and the renumbering doesn't cope with that. Still, that

In the "Update PCB from schematic" tool in version 7, IIRC you just have to *not* select "Re-link footprints to schematic symbols based on their reference designators". If that doesn't work, you can

Unfortunately, the backup I need is corrupted (KiCad apology message received) , due to having KiCad running while some other updates were going on. It looks like I have to start all over again. --
