I am trying to apply a design rule to every element that has a specific footprint (in this case, the 01005 package).
KiCad’s documentation says it has the MemberOfFootprint function which seems that it would work well for this (| | | Documentation | KiCad). However, only the MemberOf function shows up on tab complete, and the memberOfFootprint function is not recognized.
I’m using Kicad 7.0.9 on Ubuntu 22, which appears to be the latest version.
Any thoughts on why this may be, how I can get access to that function, or suggestions for a different way to achieve this aim? I could put a rule area around every 01005 component - but trying to avoid that.
Eelik is right, that’s the documentation for the development version (7.99).
You can upgrade to the 7.99 nightly versions and gain access to that function, if you can tolerate using an unstable development version for your work (note that projects modified in 7.99 cannot be opened in the stable v7).
Or you can keep using v7 - the documentation for this version is here. V8 will be released sometime early next year.
Thank you! I would prefer to stay on the stable version for my work but I appreciate the insight and look forward to using KiCad 8 whenever it is released!
