What does it mean? The KiCad 9 error?

In version 8, the Mounting_Hole symbol is displayed normally, but in version 9 it is crossed out.

The crossed out symbols have their DNP flag set.

Thanks for the reply.
The DNS flag is not set in the properties of this symbol.

Please give your version details. There is no such thing as V.9, it is not released yet and will be V9.0.0 when it is

Sorry. This is V. 9.0.0-rc3

What about “Exclude from simulation” in the ‘Symbol Properties’ window?

In Symbol Properties:
If Exclude from Simulation is ticked, the result is symbol H2
If Exclude from Simulation is UNticked, the result is symbol H1.

One more question. How do I turn on the dark theme?

For the future, it is better to start a new thread for a new topic question.

First you need to install a dark theme.

Go to Plugin and Content Manager on the front page of Kicad. When opened, you will see four folders. Open the Color Themes folder and surf 'till you find something suitable, then install.

Next, go to Preferences > Schematic Editor > Colors > Up top, where it reads Theme, click the triangle, select new theme and add the theme you have installed from Plugins.

Thank you for your responsiveness.

You can disable this functionality and leave the grey X for DNP only

Used the latest release candidate for the first time and had this on a simple design I was working on. So while I understand the reason for marking items not in simulation, can it maybe only be shown if you actually have a project set up for simulation? Most of my simulations I still do in LTSpice, and honestly have never tried to do a simulation within KiCAD. I guess at least we can disable this feature.

I prefer the KiCad simulation over LTSpice because the UI is so much better. The only problem are models. LTSpice ships with so many spice models and KiCad has barely any
