I have a switch that fits the footprint. I now have? a schematic symbol that will do, although it's not quite correct. Thanks to all for help. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG

I think you need start with finding a real switch. Then compare datasheet with footprint. -- Kind regards, Victor

Thanks, Andy. That's what I did, eventually.

So I found out. The hard way. Actually, my schematic is too wide for a single width of the drawing sheet, so I've had to wrap it into two rows, and the renumbering doesn't cope with that. Still, that

Why did you renumber? There are various options the one you want is don't renumber anything that is already there, just new things. If you renumber everything then yes that will mess things up. I

Place all units does work, but you have to be a little careful to avoid "clickitis" :-) in the circuit editor add symbol select switch / SW_DP3T (here you can select either the entire unit, or each

Sorry to hear about the problem. Does ctrl-Z work to undo things? (been a while since I actively used kicad. With all due respect, shame on Kicad for the lame behavior and poor excuse. IMHO,

Thanks, Robert, but I've already started again. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

No, Tony, I wouldn't dream of it. But I just forgot to save the schematic before going to bed at 0030. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

In the "Update PCB from schematic" tool in version 7, IIRC you just have to *not* select "Re-link footprints to schematic symbols based on their reference designators". If that doesn't work, you can

You don't want to get me started about <users> making backups of anything valuable, do you?? ;-)? I think we've had that conversation before. -- Regards, Tony

Unfortunately, the backup I need is corrupted (KiCad apology message received) , due to having KiCad running while some other updates were going on. It looks like I have to start all over again. --

In KiCad 7 and 8, they are at C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\kicad\X.0\user.hotkeys, but the texts are barely readable by humans. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus

Thanks, Tony. I will investigate. It would be good to put those locations in the Manual.

It's 'Update the PCB from schematic' that causes the problem.? V8 seems quite a bit different from v6, and better, but driving lessons are required.

Yes, it does work, but 'Place all units' doesn't work. I had to find a work-around to get both poles into the schematic.

As an aside to the problem you have, it may be worth investing in a copy of this two volume 'book' https://techexplorations.com/so/kicad-like-a-pro-4th-edition/ Comes in PDF, epub, and Kindle

Fortunately, KiCad saves backups. Look in your PCB project directory. You should have a folder of zips called "<Project_name>-backups". For the hotkeys, find where the KiCad configuration files are

You should be able to 'feed forward' the changes. That should then renumber the component placements. I can't remember the appropriate commands at the moment, and I also haven't got around to playing

I asked KiCad to renumber the components on the schematic. What I didn't realise is that it turns the PCB into a disaster area, because many of the components are then in the wrong places, with wrong
