Newbie question!

W2HX All Messages By This Member #23970 Hi all, brand new to kicad. I am on windows and kicad version Application: KiCad Schematic Editor (64-bit) Version: (6.0.1), release build. I can place components no problem. I can connect wires from one component to another. My problem is, when I move a component, it disconnects from the wire. How do I get my wires to stay connected when I move a component? thanks Eugene?

W2HX All Messages By This Member #23972 开云体育 Ahh! Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it and it did, in fact, keep the wires connected, so we’re much better than we were! Last question, in this picture, I dragged the neon lamp to the left. It would have been great if it could also move the connection points along the green wires. I checked my preferences and it says “constrain buses and wires to H or V” and that is enabled. I take this preference to mean Horizonal or Vertical. However, it seems it didn’t completely adhere to that rule in this case.? If there is anything else I can configure for that it would be great. Otherwise, thanks for the help! ? ? ? ? ? ? 73 Eugene W2HX My Youtube Channel:? ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of brian via groups.io Sent: Monday, April 22, 2024 7:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [kicad-users] Newbie question! ?

Tom, KC2ZAT All Messages By This Member #23973 Try highlighting the part, the 2 vertical lines, and a section of both horizontal lines, then hit G then everything should stay at right angles. Another way would be to highlight the junction, hit G, drag the end of the wire where you want it. HTH.??

Magnus Oksb?l Therkelsen All Messages By This Member #23974 Hi Eugene, There are two ways to move symbols. Using the Move command (shortcut 'M'), the symbol is moved without maintaining the wired connections. Using the Drag command (shortcut 'D'), connected wires are dragged along with the symbol. Either command is also accessible by right-clicking on the symbol. Kind regards, Magnus toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, 23 Apr 2024, 00:54 W2HX via , <w2hx=[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, brand new to kicad.
