Assign Footprints 'Apply, Save Schematic & Continue' What does it do?

@pauls969

if I just use it I get errors on reading the net list in PCBnew so I still have to use the V4 method.

Might be a good idea to tell us which errors you get.

As i do not have the exact error all i can give you is the link to these FAQ articles that might be relevant:

• What is the difference between footprints and symbols?
• How does KiCad know which symbol pin represents which pad of the footprint?
• How can i assign a footprint to a symbol?
