Not until the v6 release. There just was not enough time to work on the new file formats during the v5 cycle. On 02/02/2018 08:15 AM, Augusto Fraga Giachero wrote: Hi Wayne, This means that this will be addressed after the Kicad 5 release? Thanks, Augusto Fraga Giachero. On 30-01-2018 14:15

Hi Clemens, Yes, this idea would only work for small and medium sized ICs, but would be nice to not depend on external tools besides Kicad and its symbol libraries to do it. Anyway, a tabled based entry might be a good solution. I'm glad to see that this issue is a concern among Kicad devs.

Hello, Augusto! Your ideas regarding multiplexed I/Os are good, but might only be sufficient for small to medium-complex CPUs/FPGAs/modules/circuits. If you follow the latest developments, you will notice that there are even bigger things coming up and it will get more and more difficult to vis

Augusto, Most of this is going to be addressed during the next development cycle when the new symbol library and schematic file format are implemented. At the moment, there is no plan at this time to allow for resizing symbols in schematics. Since symbols will be embedded in the schematic, resizi

Hi, I've been designing schematics with some stm32 parts using the standard Kicad libraries, and a lot of these microcontrollers has 10+ functions multiplexed in each I/O pin. In the standard library the symbols displays all possible configurations available to each pin, I understand the moti
