Hi Dino, I see a great value in a tool like this. KiCad needs a generic way to modify properties for multiple items at once. Currently there are a few tools tools (e.g. Set Footprint Field Sizes, Edit All Track And Vias) that could be replaced by a powerful selection tool and a property editor. F

I think it will be extremely useful especially as the designs become more complex. Even while working recently with a board with < 200 components I was thinking of creating a similar tool to help manage things. - Cirilo On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 4:44 AM, Dino Ghilardi wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I h

Hello, Dino! I was just watching your video. Spreadsheet editing seem extremely useful to me, especially when creating and verifying big designs as well as refactoring/reusing older designs. Some other tools call these features "table based design entry" (of the whole design). So, even connectio

Hi everybody, I had to edit a lot of components in a schematic and doing it one-by-one was a tedious task without a chance to copy a field (as footprint) to many components in a single operation. To make this task easier I've made a new tool that I'm using now. It makes easier to select a par
