Hi
Since my last upgrade I noticed that when I try to associate components with footprints, cvPCB won’t highlight any of the existing libraries except for the first one it picks.
E.g if a capacitor is somehow highlighting the leaded capacitor footprints library, any attempt to click on the SMD capacitors library fails to select the library for me to associate a footprint from that library with the capacitor. The leaded capacitors library remains in focus.
Can anyone help with this?
I am runnning kicad: 4.0.2-4+6225~38~ubuntu15.10.1-stable on ubuntu 15.10.
What KiCAD version did you have before the upgrade?
I guess you don’t see any error messages when you start cvpcb…
Can you post a screenshot of the properties for the footprint filter of that capacitor symbol of yours in the symbol editor?
Something like this:
Also, what button’s in the top row of cvpcb are active?
Thanks for the reply. It seems this is due to the active buttons on the top row of cvpcb as you suggested in the second image. I hadn’t had to change those in a while. The update must have reset them to default modes. I totally forgot about them.
Thanks again
