Hi Andy,
Thank you for your clear reply.
I also worked for more than 40 years in the professional side of electronics,
so I will say that I can be biased by that fact.
I see that you’re using “symbol” and I agree wit that. The schematic use
symbols.

I can't see that Andy has stated that. I see more a different definition
than yours about the difference of part and component. But I also

Andy,
I disagree with your statement that component and part are the same thing.
A component is a term used for the generic part, like a 10k resistor, a 7474
digital IC, a 741 op amp, etc..
A part on the opposite side is a one to one relationship, unique to a single
supplier.
So you cannot mix

These are the accepted terms and should be used for UI strings. At some
point when I have nothing better to do, I will update the source code
terminology so that these two terms are used everywhere.

I wonder if there is a distinction in naming an instance and its model,
like object vs class in C++.

The devs discussed this some time ago and the general consensus is that
symbol is the preferred term. I've already started converting the UI
strings to use the term symbol. I'm sure there are UI strings that I
missed. If you find them, please let me know so I can correct them.

Hello devs,
sorry for boring with (what seems to be) trivial things...
In the KiCad program the terms "part" and "component" are used
extensively in a way that seems to be equivalent. Are these terms really
synonimous? If this is the case, why not settle for _one_ term to
semplify life to translat
