I’ve created a footprint using the footprint editor, called “abc”
I clicked “Create new library and save current footprint”, I chose a path.
Now I have a file called
C:\AllProjects\TeamName\parts\footprints.pretty\abc.kicad_mod
My project is
C:\AllProjects\TeamName\powersupply\powersupply.pro
and
C:\AllProjects\TeamName\powersupply\powersupply.sch
When I try to “Edit Component”->“Footprint”->“Assign Footprint”, I do not know how to find my component “abc”. It does not belong in any of the categories
Please help. What would be great is if I can add a new category, put “abc” inside that category, and still have the file located in C:\AllProjects\TeamName\parts\footprints.pretty\
Thanks
edit: nevermind, turns out i had to open up pcbnew, go to the library manager, add the path through the wizard
