Hello. There is a problem with Gerbview. At the attachment are two files: "ESD-Schutz.zip" and "GerberMuell.zip". Both are containing some gerber files an a board file, produced by GerbView/PCBnew

Re: Multi-Part Components
The database I'm working on uses Firebird as the back end, which is FOS. For the front end I'm using MS Access, but only because Libre/OpenOffice has a known show-stopper of a bug. The front-end

Re: Multi-Part Components
FWIW, that's the way I do it. I am using Parts&Vendors (neither open source nor free, and win-only, but reasonably inexpensive) and I dump my KiCad BOM into it and output my purchase lists, kits, etc.

Re: Multi-Part Components
Funny you should mention that. I've been working on my own open-source database for kicad (files in the kicad user group, update following soon), and that's what got me thinking about this. I think

Re: Multi-Part Components
You give each part a unique ident, then you can export the BOM and feed the result into an external stock control / parts database system. In that you can associate the part with whatever source you

Multi-Part Components
There was a recent discussion about putting things on the schematic so they get exported in the BOM but don't get placed on the PCB. A related problem is multi-part components. For example, a jack

Re: Problem with kicad specctra export with round corners on board
I realised the matching had to be accurate, which is possibly why things went awry with arcs for me. The board concerned had several arcs with angles other than 90 degrees. I just decided it was not

Re: Problem with kicad specctra export with round corners on board
I could be wrong, but I am of the opinion currently that there is no bug here. The segments are pulle

Re: FreeRoute Error Message - Multiple components have identical reference IDs of "1
I figured this out. I had four holes for mounting with the same name. I've changed the names to unique names and numbers and can now export a DSN file. However after I run autorouter and export a ses

Re: Dummy/Placeholder Footprint
I did - for the header. But I wanted the buzzer in the parts list too.

Re: Dummy/Placeholder Footprint
Hi I would say that you should have used the ¡°header¡­¡± component and footprint. Just my 2 cents¡­ Best regards Jorge De: kicad-users@... [mailto:kicad-users@...] Em nome

Re: Dummy/Placeholder Footprint
Hello Bryce. Of course yes, this is possible. Just make a footprint with nothing in and save it with a name. With best regards: Bernd Wiebus alias dl1eic

Re: Dummy/Placeholder Footprint
By a strange co-incidence I wanted to do the same just a few days ago for a wired piezo-beeper that is mounted off-board but connected via an on-board header. I don't know if it's the best solution

Dummy/Placeholder Footprint
Hi All, Just wondering if there is a module or if I could create my own that has a dummy part in it. This would allow me to place a symbol in eeschema that represents a component not on the board like
