Why are so many CONN library parts' pins set to line type "inverted"?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but in the CONN parts library, why are so many of the connectors' pin line types defined as "inverted"? Instead of just being a line, they are a line with a bubble.

Re: Wish list and other findings
If you select a track its length is displayed in the status bar. This is certainly true of the 2011 RC, and I'm pretty sure I used this feature in the 2010 edition (I had to run a USB bus over a long

Re: Wish list and other findings
Track length controlled routing has been available for commerical apps for several years, true enough. But the option is so expensive a friend of mine spent a week fiddleing with trace lengths by hand

Re: Kicad pcb editor
My vote is that neither the CVPCB nor manual entry into the Footprint field is much of a solution, though I generally use the Footprint field myself. In my case, someone else is doing my layout, so I

Re: Wish list and other findings
One more level of insufficiency. If you are only doing a few traces, perhaps this is OK. But for things like PCIe, memory and so on, the engineer should be able to put properties on the schematic nets

Re: Kicad pcb editor
You don't *have* to go via CVPCB. What I normally do is enter the footprint into the Footprint field for each component in EESchema. When I think I'm ready to create a board I use CVPCB just to check

Re: Resistor network?
DOH! Yes RR8 and RR9 are resistor nets. I'll just edit those to make my own.

Resistor network?
Are there any shem symbols for a resistor network in kicad? The only thing I found that comes close are the RR8 and RR9 symbols under "devices" Specifically I'm look for 6 pin and 10 pin bus sip

Re: Kicad pcb editor
After you did your schematics you have to generate the netlist: button "netlist generation", 4th entry from the right in the top menu. Once you created your netlist, run cvpcb (button right from the

Re: Wish list and other findings
I don't think this is sufficient. For many high-speed applications, track lengths need to be equalized on differential pairs: this is why you'll see a lot of snaking tracks on motherboards on the
