Hi, folks. My bona fides: I'm not a developer, but a hardware engineer who's been using EDA for about 35 years, and before that about 8 years of hand-taped PCBs. I've been a Mentor (old version under HP-UX) user for more than 20 years, so that's my point of reference.
On the advice of a trusted friend, I've decided to give V6 a shot, starting with the reproduction (including some reverse-engineering) of some old through-hole boards, which should be a nice, gentle introduction. I dearly love Mentor, but feel I need to make a serious effort to modernize and get compatible with the tools an increasing number of people are now using. I'm working from poor quality schematics, so that's my starting point: Redraw good ones. What I encountered today in the course of that schematic entry has really rattled me, and calls into question whether KiCAD can be considered a serious tool. Rather than my repeating myself here, please take a look at the forum exchange I initiated tonight. https://forum.kicad.info/t/symbol-editing-and-the-netlist/39271 I eagerly look foreward to a vigorous debate.
