Paul Kicad can’t open a NEW project at all Eechatic is freezind on both computers Windows 10 and Windows 7
In my eeschema file is at line 234 canvas_type=1
Change it to 2 as fred4u suggested and tell us what happens.
Another possibility:
Is it possible you installed on both PC’s from a corrupt download?
How did you install KiCad on these machines?
Fred as you can see on my files demonstrated above ia have nos line with
canvas_type= …
I installed Kicad on these machines via internet Kicad web Site
So add the line to your “eeschema” file:
canvas_type=2
if you don’t have it already.
This solutions seems to be the best one dot i eleminate the Eeschema files existing and create a new one
or just add the “canvas_type = 2” in the lines existing in the existing files ?
Just add the line on the top of “eeschema” file
Yaaaaaaaaaa hooooooooooooooooooo my problem have been resolved !!!
Fred where are you from ? I am from Québec i whoul like to send you a special thak by post
