I am trying to add a graphic object to an Eeschema which would be similar to a Comment Text fields (see Eeschema.pdf "5.6 - Complements") The object now, is to add arrowheads on RS232 nets showning

I used to me able to right-click on a reference, then move the mouse just slightly down-right until the first line of thecontext menu (Reference) is highlighted, and press "M" (or whatever) on the

I wasn't suggesting you add pads where you need to connect; merely short or zero-length-thick traces to represent the pads. Then change to thin traces for "actual" traces That way you would have no

Placing a zone the same size as the pad on top and bottom layer solved the issues with kicad reporting pads to be unconnected! This is actually a fully functional workaround for me! All I have to do

That's what I warned you about. Kicad doesn't assume that two pads with the same pad number are connected (even if they overlap) unless you connect them with a track or zone. I don't think you could

Guys, I listened to all your comments and decided to delete the big Library form the Programs/Kicad directory on C: I made a new directory on another disk and added the path under Preferences >> User

Thank to all for the great answers and innovative ideas! Cat: I somewhat like the idea! I guess the problem would be that I don't get any capture pads on top and bottom layers. And if I create them

Jos, guys I'm a recent user also, but I'm using past experience from other software tools in my Kicad usage. I never use "standard libraries" for my projects. My first move is to set up my own

Hi Albin, In KiCad it is impossible to connect to a TH plating that doesn't have a pad on the same layer as the trace as the pads are present on all copper layers; Actually, even though KiCad does not

I'll add one other warning to this. DO NOT add things to the standard libs. When you upgrade kicad the standard libs get overwritten. Always set up your own lib and mod directories for things that you

Hi, I ran into the problem of having different versions of libraries (*.lib and *.mod) created by me. So I decided to write me a simple GUI application which has the ability to load, save and merge

Yeah, about that... What you are looking at is a series of components converted from Eagle cad tool. 1wire happens to be a bunch of components from the Dallas one-wire series. The truth is that there

How about you make the module pads barely bigger than the hole and then add thick trace sections where you actually need to connect to them on any layer? Cat ----------------------------------------

If there's no pad to connect to you might be able to find some workaround that by chance gives you connectivity, but I doubt very much kicad will recognise it as being connected. I expect that kicad

OK, I have a folder called "Library" in the Kicad program folder. It is full off .LIB files. If I add for instance, 1wire.lib it will show up in the list. But I thing adding some 1000 .LIB files here

Thank you both for the quick and helpful answers! I'll try my workaround and have a look in a gerber viewer tomorrow. Do you believe it will work if I have pads only in L1 and L6 and connect a trace

Kicad only works with libs that it is told about. Use the preferences > library menu option, then use the add library button. Point it to your new libs and then OK. That should be enough. Kicad only

You need to ADD them to the "known" libraries by going into the "Preferences/Libraries" menu. ALSO, I would keep any "new" library in a separate folder, totally outside the KiCad path, some place you

I'm sorry. In EEschema library browser I find some 30 libraries. However in the windows Program Folder there is a folder Library with 2293 files. I downloaded Zip files and added the in this folder

Brian has answered the rest of the question, but I think your suggested workaround might work. You do need to check the result with a gerber viewer, however. Regards, Robert. -- () Plain text email -
