Personal library not updating ...

David Slipper All Messages By This Member #23754 Hi, I have a personal footprint library that is used in a project. I have added a new footprint and closed and reopened the schematic editor but when I try to assign the new footprint the library appears unchanged !! If I go to the PCB editor I can see the new footprint OK. How do I flush the updated footprint library through ?? I know I can set the footprint in the PCBEditor but I prefer to keep it consistent. Regards, Dave
Andy All Messages By This Member #23755 Any chance that you have a project library with the same name as your personal library, and you have updated the personal library, but not the one in the project?

David Slipper All Messages By This Member #23756 Definitely not ;-) I can work around it by changing the foot print in the PCB editor and then update the schematic from the PCB but it's a bit of a PITA.

Tony Casey All Messages By This Member #23757 开云体育 I assume you have your personal library in the footprint library list? If you have footprints with the same name in more than one library, KiCad will choose the first one it encounters in the footprint library list. Therefore, for your personal library to take precedence, you need to ensure that it is listed above any other libraries where there may be symbols of the same name. You can move libraries up and down the list with the arrow buttons. Just something to be aware of. -- Regards, Tony On 05/10/2023 21:38, David Slipper wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Definitely not ;-) I can work around it by changing the foot print in the PCB editor and then update the schematic from the PCB but it's a bit of a PITA.
