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,

Ahh! Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it did, in fact, keep the wires connected, so we’re much better than we were! Last question, in this picture, I dragged the neon lamp to the left. It

Use drag. I have it assigned to the tab key, I think the default is G.

Hi all, brand new to kicad. I am on windows and kicad version Application: KiCad Schematic Editor (64-bit) Version: (6.0.1), release build. I can place components no problem. I can connect wires from

Aha! I didn't find that this time, but I did about 5 years ago, using version 6. I didn't have to fix it. I also found that the widely-available converter-to-THT board for the SSM2167 has some pins

It is possible that the footprint is one grid point off. I have found some footprints that are 0.1. Spacing, but the grig was set to 0.05 and the whoever drew the footprint started on grid point off.

Agreed: I have definitely set the snap grid, but I wonder now whether I did that right at the beginning or one or two placings later.

The snap grid may be finer than the 2.54mm. It is a while since i used KiCad, but IIRC the visible grid is seperate to the snap grid. [email protected]> wrote:

I set the grid to 2.54 mm, but some parts are not snapped to the grid when first placed. If I try to move one, it then snaps, but It seems that I can place one 'off-grid' and not notice that. I do

I think the OP is wanting this in the schematic editor. -- Regards, Tony

Kicad alway snaps to grid in pcbnew you just set the grid size option in the menu Be aware that some footprints a not based on imperial 0.1 grid nut use metric, the newer and components are often in

I have now laid out my board but I want to make it using 0.1 inch perfboard, so I would like to have all parts on the 0.1 inch grid, but I don't see anywhere a 'snap to grid' option in PCB Editor. It

Ki cad has lots of command options, many of these care accessable when yob right click the mouse while an object is selected Usually just hovering the mouse pointer over the object is enough to select

Thanks, but I don't understand 'right !lick'. If it is 'right click', I still don't know what to click on. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

Another thing to note. Remember to check the right !lick context menu you should find all sorts of footprint movement options there. Andy

This is exactly the behavior you want. (Think about electrolytic caps) Put he mouse pointer over the component then press R a couple of times to rotate the footprint. That should untangle the rats

Hi Back in the day, when I was a Kicad rookie, I found this quite natural. Pins are numbered in schematic symbols and also in PCB footprints, and naturally the symbols and footprints numbers must

just turning twice always works. Try again, you must have made a mistake. Reinier Op 13-4-2024 om 19:47 schreef John Woodgate:

Thanks. I can't try it now, but I expect it will work. I guess it's needed for the schematic to work in simulation. But It's something that I would expect to be mentioned in 'Getting Started', because
