Re: PCB visibility and layer questions
As far as I know, that is the way it is.? The reference designators are on the "Render" tab to turn them on and off.? I do not know of a way to include these as if they were a normal layer for

Re: PCBnew ErrType(19) Pad Near Pad
zoom in on the offending area, and look carefully. You will see: the hole, the pad, and around the pad a clearance zone. If that zone intersects with anything else that will generate an error. You

Aaron- Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes it looks like the error message is incorrect. In the situation I described, the error message should say "Thermal relief spoke width is SMALLER than the minimum

PCB visibility and layer questions
1) When I place modules on a PCB layout, the text shows both the part value (like "1.0K" or "CD4046B" for example) and the reference designator (like "R5" or "U12" for example). Additionally, the

Re: Copper zone problem
I believe it is because your spoke width is smaller than your minimum width, although the text in the error seems to say the opposite of what it should say.? The Minimum actually has to be set

Re: problem with double aop module
parts in multi-part components are annotated with suffix A, B, C etc. which is what you see (U1A, U1B). in PCBNew, there will be only ONE component to assign footprint (U1 in your case). In the PCB

Re: problem with double aop module
Hi, maybe I did not understand you correctly, but your U1A and U1B OpAmps are actually in one case and so CVPCB is supposed to have only one single TL072 comprising both devices. Or am I getting
