The problem is I want to make footprints before I make a board. The footprints I need are rarely there, I have to make them more than 50% of the time. I don't want to have to enter Pcbnew to design footprints, create a project, assign library paths, this is all a nuisance to making a footprint in a library I already have. It feels like there is a *chasm* in the design process. So if you are asking me, forget maintenance, think nuisance. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
