The KiCad team is conducting a survey of users to get more information about how people use KiCad and other design tools, and what they like and dislike about it. This survey should only take a few

I believe this is the goal. I think it would be better if KiCad disabled the auto-save function for read-only files, and added a note to that effect in the message banner displayed for those files.

Thank you for your reply: indeed my test was poorly designed by transposing to the linear range the parameters I used in the log scale. I was emphasizing on the lack of linear X-axis (which was

I believe the intent is to preserve the demo files from being broken by users after installation. If you intend to modify the demos, “Save As…” and then go crazy. Sent: Friday, March 1, 2024

In view of the restrictions Windows places on access to Program Files, shouldn't the demonstration files be in, for example, Documents/KiCad demos?

Yes, I know that, and so does KiCad. It is displaying a banner on each window saying the "schematic is read only" and the "PCB is read only", yet it is still trying to autosave the files to those read

Hi Jean-Michel, You are correct. At least in KiCad 8, the simulation plot window for an AC simulation always shows a decade logarithmic frequency scale. The ngspice simulator executes the linear

There are no read-only projects but read-only directories. Copy the project into a folder of your own and the problem should disappear. Regards,Pedro Enviado desde Yahoo Mail con Android

The same error message reappeared shortly after I posted my previous message. I now suspect that KiCad may be trying to autosave the project into the read-only Program Files directory. It shouldn't do

I have just installed Kicad 8 and was trying to use one of the demo projects to check out the new features. I thought this error message appeared when I was using the 3D Viewer, but I am not certain

I see yes, Some old versions did do this, but now running 8.00 and it's gone!

Hi, Courtyard is board side specific. So if you place anything to the other side, it will generate no error. The problem here is that there are components under each other on the same side. Lev

Yes, It would be nice if KiCAD could be set to ignore DRC errors for THT parts on the opposite side. With RF boards the connectors (thru hole) are routinely mounted behind the circuit (SMD) to get

Until KiCAD 6 I was able to define a linear ngspice AC simulation by including a text .ac lin 101 100 1meg for simulating a linear frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz with 101 samples/decade but

Hah! Embarassing. Thank you very much Tony, you're quite right. You solved my problem. Much appreciated.

Thank you! I am aware that there are alternative solutions (or lets call them workarounds) available out there. But I was specifically asking here for a possible (or future) KiCAD integrated way

Most of the boards I design have similar constraints, usually multiple areas with different height limits, and on both sides of the board. Normally what I do is create graphical keep-out areas on the

I think you can make FreeCad to do these kind of collision detection. I usually do it manually though. Lev

Question in this context: Is there a way to define a "keepout area" below the LCD for components lower than a defined height? (i.e. to use the space for passives < 1mm bit not

1) I also have a board with an LCD. I simply made the courtyard around the connector. The courtyard does not have to represent the outline of the part, you can make it a dot if you want. 2) I haven't
