Re: Import Spice schematic

 

I'm still using V 6 as I've been out of action with a long stay in
hospital so I've not upgraded for quite a while. The basic problem is
that I don't know my left from right :-)

4th Icon from the right on my pretty much default setup.
I've sent this directly to you as well just in case the attachment does
not work on the list

look at that later.

That said, it should cope with something that simple, and give you
3x10pf silver mica or some such.

BOM is not something I use that much, I've usually got all the data
already assembled in a spreadsheet.

rows than spread the data across seven columns, with wrong content in

Hey, the dots have suddenly appeared. But also, some spurious short wires have appeared, coming from dots and going nowhere. The imported symbols are smaller than the native KiCad symbols and the capacitors don't have thick plates.

I found that if I 'select all', the rotation triangles on the toolbar work correctly, but the mirror triangles do not reflect the tracks. I can't believe that is intentional.

Try highlighting the part, the 2 vertical lines, and a section of both horizontal lines, then hit G then everything should stay at right angles.

Another way would be to highlight the junction, hit G, drag the end of the wire where you want it.

Re: Newbie question!

 

Hi Eugene,

There are two ways to move symbols. Using the Move command (shortcut 'M'), the symbol is moved without maintaining the wired connections. Using the Drag command (shortcut 'D'), connected wires are dragged along with the symbol. Either command is also accessible by right-clicking on the symbol.


Kind regards,
Magnus
