Re: Does KiCAD have something like Eagle's DRU and CAM files?
Hi, We've been using KiCad and Dorkbotpdx extensively for all or our open source projects (wyolum.com). I haven't used Eagle (except to view projects), but I think Eagle CAM job file is equivalent to

Re: Pcbnew EAGLE plugin
I am finished with the EAGLE_PLUGIN, and I am suspending my involvement with KiCad until my time can be funded. This probably means goodbye, after 5 years and $310,000 donated by my employer, SoftPLC

Re: kicad thermal/ ground stitching vias
this is exactly what I do, I find it kinda annoying... there should be better way. i tried just stitching some vias without using trace and that was a bad idea. actually the idea was good but PCBNew

Re: Pcbnew
A couple of reasons that I can think of: 1. A schematic will frequently consist of several sheets - then "position on the schematic" is difficult to define, if not meaningless. 2. Many ICs have

Hello Lawrence. No, its the same in Europe. ;O) I do not know the real reason, but i guess, it has to to with the widgets and canvasses used in programming. It is common, that they have there origin

Hi Jeff, I have V3411 which is now some way out of date methinks... Off topic, Cadence is indeed a nightmare of a learning curve and the licence server is a pain in the a*se. But NI Design Suite ...

Re: Pcbnew
Is there a technical reason why pcbnew does not layout footprints with layout that generally matches the position of components in the schematic?

Re: Pcbnew
When you first load a netlist and spread out the modules, all desired connections will be shown by thin white (I think) "airlines". DRC only sees copper tracks, and power and ground planes, as

Re: Pcbnew
when you load the netlist you will get all the components in a pile in the corner of the board. You have to move the components to the positions you want, then you can start laying out the tracks I

Does KiCAD have something like Eagle's DRU and CAM files?
Eagle offers the options for PCB services to distribute design rule and CAM jobs files. I've been chatting with the person who runs the DorbotPDX PCB service http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/pcb_order in

Re: I would like to suggest a Feature enhancement-Schematic Sheet property addition
Agreed 100%, one schematic = one board, by far the safest way to do things. You can put as many schematics and PCB's as you want into a project, so there is no real issue. The problem is good working
