Re: Symbols for IC DIL sockets - where are they?
Usually it would make more sense to draw the schematic using the symbols for the ICs to be plugged into the sockets, then assign a suitable footprint. To allow for the size and hole size of a socket

Yes it is the symbols I need, for the schematic. Regards, Dave

You will find them under 'Package_DIP:DIP-16_W7.62mm' Regards Lex

Re: Symbols for IC DIL sockets - where are they?
The OP talks about symbols. It's not clear that he actually means footprints. -- Regards, Tony

Re: Symbols for IC DIL sockets - where are they?
Looking in the right place if I'm anything to go by :-) Use the footprint editor to find and check them.. They are in the subsection "Package_DIP" Andy "David Slipper" <softfoot@...> wrote:

Symbols for IC DIL sockets - where are they?
I have a project that contains symbols for 4 x 16pin DIL IC sockets that I was able to update my PCB from. But after a couple revisions and went back to change the design but now it complains that

Re: suggest new feature: Arc-shaped Edge Plating #pcb-manufacture
I don't know all the details, either. But most PCB fabricators that I know of don't use your Gerber and Excellon files as-is - for a start, they add their production numbers to the silkscreen layer

Re: suggest new feature: Arc-shaped Edge Plating #pcb-manufacture
When I do such a thing, I have to make a fab drawing and just call it out as something like "edge plated". Sometimes things are just not easy to convey just via the gerbers, so you need the fab

Re: suggest new feature: Arc-shaped Edge Plating #pcb-manufacture
The part I don't get is how they control where the plating starts and stops.? Looking at the image in your link, it shows what appears to be a cut out in the board edge.? The plating is not on the

Re: Dead Kicad projects
Just because you see something listed in "Recent files", doesn't mean it actually exists. That's just a separate list of shortcuts. The existence of a shortcut doesn't necessarily mean the target file

Do you mean files like "file.pro"? Why can't you just delete them like any other file? In Windows Explorer, give them focus, then press the [Delete] key, or right-click > Delete. If these files are in

KiCAD Symbols from table (XLS, CSV, etc.). Is it real?
Hello Could anyone share how to design KiCAD Symbol using table (XLS, CSV, etc.), please. Does https://github.com/devbisme/KiPart will work with KiCAD 6? It seems that KiPART is very old... I know
