Are you not missing a lot of properties from that dialog with your screenshot, like the orientation? Or is this only to replace the "Fields" frame of the dialog? 2018-03-01 17:26 GMT+01:00 Jeff Young : > Technically yes, but even the existing dialog only lets you edit both. > > > On 1 Mar 2018, a

Hi Wayne, The table editor is already done. That wasn’t controversial (since it was already a table-style presentation). You can play with that on my branch: https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/. (If you do, have a look at the whizzy new DRC highlighting too: generate some errors, right
