Dear all,
i’m new to the forum and to kicad. I hope that I’m able to explain my problem in a good way.
I’ve added three multipart units 74AC132 to my schematics. Associating the footprints in cvpcb to my symbols i discovered that my part list did contain about six packages instead of three. That was weird.
One IC consists out of four units. I have three sheets each with one IC. Two sheets with four units and one sheet only with one unit. I’ve fiddled a bit with the annotation process because i had too many part (IC?) numbers for three ICs in my schematics and i managed to get the following “distribution” for my IC annotation.
sheet 01: IC6A, IC5B, IC5C, IC5D
sheet 02: IC11A, IC6B, IC6C, IC6D
sheet 03: IC5A
What would like to have is;
sheet 01: IC5A, IC5B, IC5C, IC5D
sheet 02: IC6A, IC6B, IC6C, IC6D
sheet 03: IC11A
The annotation thingy seems to forget which unit belongs to which IC. That’s strange and I’m wondering, if i did something serious wrong, when i created my symbol.
Thanks in advance,
