Annoying broken footprint

Thanx for the clarification.

I can’t seem to make a new Path Substitution for Footprint Libraries.

Oh. Here we go.

I’ve moved from computer to computer MANY times, each time with some grief. I used “Configure Paths” to make a “TORBY” path that points to C:\Users\USTHRUB\Documents\KiCad

Then I added a library at "${TORBY}/libraries and a footprint library at "${TORBY}/libraries.pretty.

Hmm. Need a library manager for 3d shapes. Perhaps I’ll edit both the footprints to be “${TORBY}/3dShapes/whatever.step”

This might help Library management in KiCad version 5

And of course this: Tutorial: How to make a footprint in KiCad 5.1.x (From scratch)? (last section is about 3d models, link should point directly to it)
