Re: Disaster recovery?

Re: Disaster recovery?
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

Re: Disaster recovery?
I think it's maybe premature to blame KiCad for this. I've never noticed corrupted backup files. But then I don't routinely use Windows, which has a habit of doing updates and reboots in the middle of

Re: Disaster recovery?
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

Re: Disaster recovery?
Why did you renumber? There are various options the one you want is don't renumber anything that is already there, just new things. If you renumber everything then yes that will mess things up. I

Re: Disaster recovery?
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. --
