Re: textPCB Properties

Well...you saved my day...and the project:) You are absolutely right! 
All I need to do is to input the values with ',' instead of '.'. Even 
the unchanged fields in the dialog need to be changed and have ','.

Why other folks didn't experience the problem? Maybe we have our 
Windows corrupted on the country/decimal settings.

Allow me to quote you:

"I think this bug should be raised to a higher priority. Beside the
significant time waste, "vanishing" text strings can prevent new users
from enjoying the professionnal quality of KiCad."

Thank you very much !

R: textPCB Properties

The same by "eeschema": the last <<good version>> is from 25-Jan-2008.
 Next version: r984, r995, r1040, r1068, r1100, tested, have the same problem. When I set a dimension for a text, a number, un instance, a ref, etc, the dimension go to 0.000.
First time I think this a problem only by Win 2000-pro, but also in Xp it is present; it depends, may be, from a setting or from a Win Xp upgrade. The problem was not present, on my computer at office, until I had an automatic upgrade from IT, the 20th-My-2008.
It is a BIG problem: please HELP, if someone can it!
thank to you!

I am not able to change the text size using the textPCB properties.
SizeX and SizeY always revert to the default value of 0.0050" no matter
what values I input. I am using the "Add text" button to create the
text. And if I try to change a text label already created its size will
revert to the default value as soon as I close the textPCB properties
as soonnas I close the dialog.

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Compiling of SVN Version 1007 on Gentoo Linux failed

Hi,

i have just tried to compile SVN Version 1007 on my
Linux Box but it always failed with:

Error: kbool/include/_dl_itr.h: File or directory not found
In File, inserted from
/usr/local/src/entwicklung/kicad/polygon/kbool/src/../include/../include/_lnk_itr.h:161,

Version 1006 works perfectly. I have checked
the path, but they seems to be right and the files are in correct place.

Thanks for any hints..

Marcus

Re: Compiling of SVN Version 1107 on Gentoo Linux failed -SOLVED

Hi,

discovered the errors...
The path in two files is not correct:
in _dl_itr.cpp:17
change line 17: kbool/include/_dl_itr.h to ../include/_dl_itr.h
In _lnk_itr.cpp
changeline 16: kbool/include/_lnk_itr.h to ../include/_lnk_itr.h

Re: Removing inner pads with vias

> So, we are back to square one which means editing the GERBER files or
> choosing a different manufacturer....

OK, I fixed the problem by hand and made my manufacturer happy.
Here is what I did:
- Opened the Gerber files (inner layers) in GerbView and looked at via 
pads and what dcode number is assigned to them (in my case D22)
- Opened the same file in any text editor and found line (in my case) '%
ADD22C' somewhere at the beginning of the file
- On that line I changed the size of the pad to be larger. This one 
change changes all same sized pads on this layer. Make sure you have 
enough clearance between the new larger pads and the other tracks/zones
- Change all inner layer files the same way
- Check your new files in the GerbView and/or run it through some kind 
of Gerber file checker

Export Schematic - KiCad to Orcad

Hi All,

I'm new to KiCad and am really impressed with it's capabilities so far.

Unfortunately, our board layout specialist is using Orcad and having 
difficulty reading the KiCad-generated Orcad netlists from our schematics.

Does anyone here regularly exchange KiCad-generated schematics with 
Orcad users? Are there any limitations?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Dave

Schematic ERC

I have run into a problem that I can't seem to solve or find a workaround.  So any input would be helpful.

I have a multi-sheet schematic with a PIC microcontroller on one sheet and memory on another.  There is a third sheet for the power supply, but no problems with that one.

I inadvertently left off the connection for the write enable, WEn, from the micro schematic.  I did have a pinsheet WEn (output) connected to a pinsheet WEn (input) on the Root sheet.  And I had WEn (input Hlabel) on the memory sheet.  I created the netlist, started laying out the PCB, then noticed that there was no connection from the PIC to the memory for write enable.  I am guessing that not finding the non-connection is an error with the ERC, but not my big problem for now.

My problem is that when I added an output Hlabel for the WEn to the micro sheet, I now get an error that WEn output from the PIC is connected to the CEn output from the PIC.  If I change the WEn Hlabel to a Glabel or Label, ERC indicates that there is no connection for the pin, but doesn't give the error that it is connected to the CEn pin.

Any ideas on what to look for to correct this?

Doug Deeds

Hi,
Can you post a schematic so that someone can have a look at it.
Maybe post it to the files section, or directly to me, and I will try
to help.
Thanks.

David.
