You would be able to create named configurations with DNF and/or alternate symbol fields per configuration. I considered using alternate symbols but that would make the design far more complex but it's still not outside the realm of possibility. There is still some work to do complete the final d

How would this work - can you create "configurations" and mark each component as "do not use in this configuration"? Can components also have different values rather than just DNF? In the PCB design, can I select the configuration and export a BOM and a position file which will only have the requir

pls allow some comments to Olivers do not fit suggestions. We recently stumbled accidently above Kicad after quarrels with commercial tools and found its push & shoove capabilites are a remarkable and motivating feature. Experience shows, that the „do not fit“ feature is much more complex. Un

+1 on this I usually work-around the problem setting the component value to "NM" or "Not mounted" or "Don't mount" , but this is sub-optimal and needs more work to update the bom and the place files. The only suggestion I have is to make translatable or configurable the shown string on the s

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
