Hi all, Almost a year ago now I suggested a feature addition, allowing for marking parts in the schematic as "DO NOT FIT"
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg38415.html I had made a lot of progress towards feature completion, however was told at the time that such a feature would not be accepted. A year later, and after a lot of frustration of sending the wrong files out for manufacturer due to confusion about which parts are fitted, I'd like to raise the issue again. Currently parts are marked as "DNF" by setting a special field in the BOM and checking for this with a special export script. However, I feel (and I'm sure many would agree) that this information should be integral to the schematic representation itself. Some other EDA packages achieve this quite well. I presented a way to achieve this without breaking backwards compatibility with the file format. If the "new" file format is still far in the future, can this feature be considered again? Cheers, Oliver
