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

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

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
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
