It is rather tedious marking 90 pins of a 100 pin package as "no connection" so I was wondering if there was a way to automatically mark them all as such in one action ??? Perhaps a plug-in ?? I tend

What is the recomended way to debug an action plugin ??? Regards, Dave

Hi, Depends on where your footprint points to and how you feel about changing that... When you open the footprint in the footprint editor you have a button to edit the properties of the footprint

Anything that is not in the "official" libraries should be in *your* library store. Create your own library tree in a place of your choosing. Then you can define KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR, for example

Hi In my case, the 3D models folder are also part of my footprint libraries structure. The footprint folder installed by Kicad is only a place were I grab what I need to populate my personal 3D

Hi, I have download a PCB footprint from a vendor that includes a STEP (.STP) file of the part. I have added the footprint to my personal footprint library, but where can/should I put the 3D model

Hi, Being able to select a specific symbol would be a nice bonus, but not necessary for my main use case. In the most important use case the file would just happen to have only one symbol (or

Your first problem is that symbols are not stored by default as a single file. There are categories, or groups, of symbols stored inside a .kicad_sym library file (or at least this is the new V5.99 or

The only other thing I can think of, is that you might be able to persuade one of the automation utilities to "drive" the kicad launcher, or even just the editors. xdtool is one possibility, Autokey

Hi, I just tried (with KiCad nightly): neither works. Do I have to use some additional parameter or option? That's fine for occasional work or project related work. But if I want to go through a

Generally no, The editors are not separate binarys. However you do not have to open a project. The main kicad launcher has all of the utilities available. Also remember that multiple symbols are held

Hi, is it possible to open a symbol file or footprint file directly in the symbol/footprint editor? For example I'd like to click on those files from my file browser (KDE Dolphin) and open them in the

Some of the information that you can't get anywhere else is actually in the manual, although not in much detail. Check in the KiCad manual under KiCad Configuration. Note: the version of Help shipped

Hi I don't know how you are doing it, but here a small explanation on how I do it. I'm currently using kicad 5.1.10. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, so all the paths referenced are for the linux file system.

The not driven error as mentioned is a ERC error. The design rules don't know that you are powering the circuit externally. So you add a power flag to tell the system that the net is actually powered,

Additional thoughts - if you mean "in general", as opposed to being specifically for Spice, it's good practice to use it on any schematic that has a circuit ground (which is pretty much all but

Yes. Kicad design rule checking requires that things that should be powered, are powered. The output from a regulator will give it the information it needs (because of the way the symbol is designed),

Hello, I’m a new Kicad user trying to simulate a simple cap charge circuit with a DC source, a resistor, and a cap. Where does the ground symbol come into play? Does Spice need one? I’m using the

I also notice there is a bunch of plugins in the plugins directory but they never appear in the tools/plugins menu. Some of them are potentially very useful but currently I cannot see how to run them.
