Highlight all connected component pins

[Zahir]

Hi,

I did a 'manual’pcb - not from SCH.
Question …
Is there a way of clicking on one component leg, and the software will highlight all the points where it is connected to?
If you click on say, the Vcc pin on one chip, just to check if all other chips Vcc are connected.
Basically, to highlight the track or route.

Also, if you have two pcb’s, is there any way of merging the two? Copy from one design and pasting on another?
I built a clock board separately and the main board separately - after making the pcb’s, I found that the labour involved to connect the two board up is just too time consuming. Therefore, it would be great if I can coppy the one onto the second and connect it with the necessary tracks.

Cheers

You can highlight nets, but since you started off without a schematic that path is closed.

Outside of KiCAD with a text editor. As you don’t have to follow any schematic it will be no big deal for you.

PS: why did you run without a schematic in the first place?

Was my first time using KiCad - did the PCB like I gig it 40 years ago! The fun way!
