Back Propogate New Footprints into the Schematic

[Piotr]

@MustardMan

Is there a facility to allow PCBnew to dump jump resistors into a net, and back-propagate them to the schematic later?

I see a basic problem in back-propagating 0Rs from PCB to schematic. There can be no wire directly corresponding to the track you break at PCB with 0R to break that wire and place there a resistor. And total rearranging a net at schematic is enough complicated task in my opinion just to left user to do it.

My advice is, quite simply, “avoid that”.

I am using 0Rs to avoid breaking my GND layer at 2 layer PCBs. At this PCB there are 2 0Rs at VCC net (other that can be supposed as 0Rs are ferryte beads):

Approaching PCB track routing for a newbie

Positioning for me is the main work in designing PCB. If each element is where it is needed than routing is simple. Till now all my PCBs are 2 layers and all of them have GND plane taking 100% of bottom layer. So except GND I design my PCBs as 1 layer. I use microcontrollers in QFP packages without thermal pad at bottom. This allows me to go with VCC under the microcontroller and go out through all corners and all VCC pins. That way GND and VCC don’t disturb my signal connections. At all digi…
