Re: Is this a bug?
Gaaa! I hate CVPCB. The problem is that you need to ensure the .CMP file generated by CVPCB and the .NET file generated by EESchema match. If you miss a stage, you end up with weirdness. Personally I

Is this a bug?
Or did I do something wrong? I created a multisheet schematic with a top level sheet and then 5 sheets in parallel below that. I then used the CvPcb button and filled in all the footprints to

Re: Multi-Part Components
Interfacing to existing databases would be a great feature of a parts management tool, but it is not in itself a parts management tool. Besides octopart, KiCad users could make good use of interfaces

Re: Holes in modules
Modules don't have any concept of "pins" as such they are all pads. Pads with matching pin numbers will connect to the eeschema component with the same pin numbers. You can make odd shaped pads by

Thanks, that is well worth knowing. There is one sort-of advantage to ODBC which I have exploited in the past. I have written an app that used Firebird with ODBC, expecting the response "yes, that's

Re: Editing ARC on PCB edge layer
Arcs can be difficult or impossible to select, especially once edited, and I don't know any workaround other than right-clicking all over the arc until you get lucky. If you don't get lucky then all

Re: Multi-Part Components
Yes, they are full client-server "drivers". Actually they are an interface to the installed db-drivers. There is no odbc-layer. Firebird is my favorite database server ;-) . Regards, Koenraad Lelong

Re: Holes in modules
It's an odd module. All the pins of the LCC will have a pth connected to the pad and then all the pads connected in two groups. Each of these groups will connect to two surface mount pins that will be
