Re: Mounting holes disappear when updating PCB to schematic - expletive Tools->Update PCB from Schematic
The mechanical designer places circles in the DXF. Obviously there's a circle for the hole proper, with additional larger circles as required for the copper annulus and/or keep-out (don't forget

Re: Mounting holes disappear when updating PCB to schematic - expletive Tools->Update PCB from Schematic
Yes it is good to add Mechanical Items on your sch if you use DXF layers you still need to add a hole Just DXF does Not equate to Hole in Drill file. You have no Idea how many times people proudly

Sure, if attaching a file to a post works on groups.io (it was rather hit-and-miss on Yahoo groups). If it doesn't work, I'll send the image direct to you. The image is confusing if you don't know

Hi Robert, can you show how it looks like? "The board I'm currently working on even has solder pads for a pig-tail baked into the board footprint."

Re: Mounting holes disappear when updating PCB to schematic - expletive Tools->Update PCB from Schematic
That's what I do. And if the board profile is something complicated that has come from a mechanical CAD application (as a DXF), I have a "board" component that includes the holes, the profile, and

Re: Mounting holes disappear when updating PCB to schematic - expletive Tools->Update PCB from Schematic
You select the footprint in your PCB and edit the properties. There you have a choice of "locking" the component, so it will not be be removed by an update from the schematic. -?Do you seriously have

Re: Circuit simulation
If you run ldd against the kicad executable, it should give you a report on which libraries it's pulling in for each of the dependencies. does that give you anything useful?
