If you just want to edit the symbol so it has the correct resistor values, that is easily done in the symbol editor, but once you have done that you will have to update all instances of it in the

I've not often seen symbols including the toggle... Remove the toggle graphic, and put the words dim / bright (or high/low) against the contact in the yellow box You may find that the actual

Backups are only logical & simply text editing sounds too easy. But I am pretty sure that’s the solution. Thx, Dave F.

I do not understand why you should not be able to change the symbol but I will give you a hacker's hint:all symbols (and files) in KiCAD are text files, just open your symbol (or schematic) file in a

Without a doubt I am becoming somewhat more skilled at symbols, but of course all learning is relative. The part I'm trying to document is this device from a 1973 Volvo 1800ES: Just a toggle switch

That is certainly a good suggestion. Better than battling with two offset co-ordinates for each part.

Hi Yes I know. I don't know how others do it, but I use one of the technical layers to draw alignment marks of pots, LEDs, switches and other such parts. Best regards Jorge

Very likely, but what suits machinery often doesn't suit humans. In this case, the machine only has to orient the part, but in designing the board for a potentiometer, say, the position of the spindle

Hi I'm not 100% sure, but I think this convention as something to do with automated PCB assembly machinery. best regards Jorge

I agree: it's a pest.

The Kicad documentation states that "By convention, through-hole footprints have pin 1 located at (0,0) and are oriented with pin 1 in the top left." This puzzles me. A footprint is a physical thing

Thanks for the advice Robert, ??? I've wanted to try this solution before, but haven't found a way in the footprint editor to add a solder mask without adding copper, because writting in the solder

Try creating the big pad with no solder mask, and then either adding the solder mask manually, or adding small conventional pads directly over the parts that are solderable, if that makes

??? I answer to myself. It is possible to create an extra pad with soldermask and then to modify the shape, however, in this cas a big pad numer appears. ??? Regards, ??? Jean-Paul,

??? Many thanks Robert for this advise. ??? Working so there is no CRC error, but there in no solder mask on the copper. Did you see a solution ? ??? Regards, ??? Jean-Paul,

Right click on an anchor pad (eg through-hole pad Pin 1) and select 'Edit pad as graphics shapes' to create the extra copper required. In my experience, you'll probably need to try different

Hello, ??? I like to create footprints that allow different types of package to be used for a component. See picture. ??? There is no problem to have some pads with same pad number. I also found

There is a method to do what you want: 1. Open the symbol editor 2. Highlight an existing symbol 3. Right-click on the name in the symbol list 4. Save Copy As... 5. Choose location 6. Edit copied

Symbols had been my bugaboo ever since I started trying to teach myself KiCad. I'm now at v9.0.0 as I update my Linux systems with regularity. I? seem to remember a method in which one could copy

I will agree that one needs to be exceedingly careful, but that is what contracts are for. I personally know little of GitHub, but security-wise it seems to be quite strict. Contractually say the
