I would consider it a missing feature that the schematic-layout path is anything but completely bilateral. Everything should be editable and propagated both ways and question remains does it even make sense to have different files. If a footprint is added or gate/pin swapped on the PCB side the changes should show as rubber bands on the schematic, just like it works from update PCB form schematic. Proper back annotation is a good middle target, but having complete seamless bilateral data and action model is way more usable albeit complex. -Vesa _______________________________________________ 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
