Re: Window preview in windows10 taskbar doesn't update

I'm seeing the same problem on Windows 11. The setting value mentioned in the link is the default value already. I run lots of different software on this system and no other program displays this taskbar behavior..

Renaming only one net of a shared group

When I have nets that share the same name, I sometimes need to rename only of the wires to a unique name. How can I do that? I have tried Rename Related Wire Only, but that seems to have the same behavior as changing the name for all the nets that share the same name. The only reliable way to do thi...

Nets and multi sheet projects

I'm working on my first project with more than 1 sheet. I have defined my power nets on the first sheet. What is the proper way to refer to these nets on the second sheet? I found some postings about bus connections, but I'm not sure if these would apply or not.

Trouble locating pattern

I have a library of parts I imported from an Eagle library. I want to make changes to the pattern attached to a part, but I can't find where the pattern file is located. Is it in the .eli file? I thought patterns are only in .lib files.

Scattered glue layer components

I'm working on a refactoring of a board. The original board was imported from Eagle using parts from its rcl library. In my refactoring I replaced the capacitor and resistor passives with parts from the DipTrace libraries. What I'm noticing is these leftover pieces on the glue layer, the grey rectan...

Once schematic, two PCBs

I have a single schematic file with multiple sheets. The current design was to have the schematic render to a single PCB. I need to split the layout across two PCBs. How would I accomplish this? The PCB Layout program only works with a single board, or at least it appears that way. Would I need to g...

Save component from PCB imported from Eagle

I have a board I am working on that was imported from an Eagle project. I need to edit the pattern for the part, so I saved the pattern to a library and made the changes I need. Now I want to apply the pattern change to the component. Since I can just update the part on the PCB with a new pattern, I...

Set markings for set of parts

Is there a way to set the RefDes marking for a group of parts to "Show". I would like to do this without having to use the mouse, as there are hundreds of parts on the board.

Instructions for importing Kicad schematic

Are the any detailed instructions for importing a Kicad schematic?

I tried an import but the none of the part symbols are showing, just a bunch of pins. The board import looks better, although there are some unrouted traces.
