be careful giving your own lib parts and footprints a unique and proper name so you can distinct them with the others. you can of course put your initials before the name moving and copying parts is

personally, I simply use a sandbox library where I make and/or the footprints, symbols, ... then I copy the item and paste into the dedicated library. ,

Great that it's working, not so great re the chromebook... :-( Hope you get that sorted out easily. Says me, still looking at a 1TB SSD that has been sitting on the desk for nearly a month, I've been

Hi Andy, Thanks for the help. I got it sorted. It works fine on my main PC which is running 5.1.5. under Ubuntu. However, I was trying it out on my Chromebook (under Linux) and it turns out the

prob getting ourselves mixed up somewhere. From a cold start - this is what i did to create a new symbol library called "fred" and copy an existing symbol into it. open symbol editor file > new

The trouble I am having with this, Andy, is that when you save the symbol to the new library it says this library already exists and if I go ahead it will be overwritten. What I want to do is *add*

OK, Use the symbol editor and load the symbol you want to put onto your new lib. Then select "save as" from the file menu. Select your own lib from the list that pops up and then save. Job done Andy

Hi Ian, Kicad libraries can be stored in any folder of your hard disk, or even on a server. There is no difference from official (standard) libraries and any other one. In my case, I always use my own

OK, I am having some trouble with this. The first step " Open the symbol editor and select new library, give it a name etc and use it as you would any other library." I have done. I get stuck on the

Thanks Andy. That seems straightforward. I will give it a go. Cheers Ian

Open the symbol editor and select new library, give it a name etc and use it as you would any other library. As you have already designed some symbols load each one up, change the working library to

I use a lot of components not in the standard Kicad libraries and I use them a lot. I also use a small subset of the standard libraries all the time. What I would like to do is hold all these symbols

Dear all, I searched for the tool like this, but haven't find a suitable solutions, so I rolled my own. Any feedbacks are welcome.

I do not understand how this helps. I tried moving the grid origin. All that happens is the symbol for the grid origin moves to this point. Absolute coordinates displayed in the status bar are still

To place exactly my components and controls, I draw a small cross somewhere and I set my Grid Origin at this point. And I'm able to succesfully work with both Imperial and Metric this way.

Yes, I am using version 5. I will file a bug report. Edit: I just checked the bug list and it is already reported. It is listed as "fix committed" so presumably it will appear in a release before too

I do not know. Maybe if I left in a text field instead of a line field and set it to space it would work. I will try it out and let you know. Cheers Ian
