Can't undo No Connect

Schematic
1

I am using KiCad version 8.0.7.

I had assigned “No Connect” to any unused pins of my IC in my schematic.

Now I am using some of these pins that were previously disconnected and have them connected to external components.

However, I can not get rid of the “No Connect” no matter what, as in my screenshot below. Even in my PCB design the pins state Not Connected, but i am still able to connect these to other components and there aren’t any DRC violations etc.

How can I solve this? Or is this possibly a bug in KiCad? Thanks

How is it implemented ? did you add the No Connect using the No Connect flag in the schematic editor ?

if you did you should simply be able to click the “X” to select it then Delete

Or did you make the pin in the symbol (using the symbol editor) an Unconnected pin type ?

in which case you need to change the pin type in the symbol editor.

Hi @RaptorUK To add it, I right-clicked on the pin, then Pin Helpers, “No Connect”. When I try to undo it in Pin Helpers and selecting “wire” it doesn’t go away.

I can’t select the “X” at all.

Double-clicking on the pin should bring up Pin Properties right? In my case it doesn’t:) Strange.

Thanks.

OK, I’ve never used that function . . . I have now though :wink:

Zoom right in on the “X” you should then be able to select it and delete it . . . at least I was able to do it that way.
