Re: Cloning Projects
Mmm.. when I tested.. On loading kicad complained, then when I continued with the loading it sorted itself out. The libs were all updated. The netlist file I did not worry about, As the required aim

Re: Cloning Projects
Andy, KiCAD makes reference to other files WITHIN some of the files in a project.? Merely renaming the files in the directory will not work (consistently at least). Assuming a *nix type system,

Re: Cloning Projects
Thanks Andy. ? I have done this -- I am perhaps over cautious as some products that I use put internal directory trees into the files and this can create problems but apparently-so far-not an issue

Re: Cloning Projects
A one liner will do the job usually. here is a simple example: I have a directory containing a project LM386-AFamp I copy this directory to LM386-AFamp2 using the file manager or the shell cd into the

Re: Cloning Projects
I occasionally do this type of thing with jumpers etc.? But it is just too simple to click "save as", shut down the lab and head for the local tavern (;-> ? ? I am rather surprised that I would

Re: Cloning Projects
"Divide and conquer" pays lots of dividends. Is there no way to modify your design so that ONE board can serve all of those clients, with just a few configuration links to set differently? I'd

Re: Via Processing Questions
Yep. This not a real project of course but just a test example I set up. I think it all makes sense--I am just getting used to kicad's way of doing things. ??? I worked with other electronics CADs

Re: Via Processing Questions
Hi Fritz, It is a very simple project. Even deleting the vias and their connected tracks there are no DRC errors since all nets are connected and there aren't any clearance or overlap errors. Cheers,

Re: Cloning Projects
well it as already been said, but with kicad you just have to copy the whole project directory with your file browser, and it's done...

Re: Cloning Projects
I will look at git. I thought it was a version control facility. I am not interested in versions. I just need to clone a project so I can change certain features--I often have 2 or 3 almost identical

Re: Cloning Projects
I can only second the combination of KiCAD and git. Especially handy with the WireIt 3rd party plug-ins and submodules! Lev <leventelist@...> schrieb am So., 15. Dez. 2019, 10:29:

Re: Cloning Projects
Of course I could but the fact that the developers omit this obvious and standard command found in almost any software indicates to me that perhaps there are future plans that might create a problem

Open a command prompt and write a batch that will do it automatically.

Re: Via Processing Questions
Thanks Pedro- ?? the ratsnest indeed disappears. So I think your comments make sense-there is no way for the program to predict if I was assuming a zone. ? ? I have attached a zip of the design

Re: Cloning Projects
OK and thanks all for your comments on this. Apparently the final answer is the one cannot just click "save as" to a different name and be done with it. Fritz

Re: Sharing a KiCad project with a friend
If you use 7zip, and the 7zip format, you can encrypt the filenames (along with the files). That should hide them from Gmail. Regards, Robert

Re: Via Processing Questions
Hi Fritz, Do all lines of the ratsnet dissapear? I think the connecting part of the DRC doesn't mind if the nets are connected by vias, zones or tracks. It just check if all nets are connected. The
