Hello,
I’m new in KiCad and it’s very intresting.
But when I connect the footprints to my symbols in cvpcb and will save, nothing happends.
No changes in cvpcb will be saved.
Has anybody an idea why?
I use 4.0.0-rc2-stable…
thanks
Volker
How do you determine that?
After you assigned the footprints with cvpcb (saved?), did you create a new netlist and saved the schematic as well?
You then have to reload the netlist in pcbnew and select ‘change footprints’ in the dialog.
Did you do all of that?
Hello,
I have make two mistakes…
After cvpcb I have not export the netlist. Is this written in the documentation?
And in pcbnew I have not mark the option ‘Exchange Footprint - change’…
Thank you for the hints. 
Regards
Volker
Yes, here:

PS: I admit, it’s not that obvious.
