I’m trying to use an sqlite database for symbols.
I’m basically using GitHub - git-plm/parts: Verifiable parts database and KiCad Libraries for this.
Currently trying to create a 10k resistor
I’m also creating my own “base” symbol for resistors
(I want some additional field with a smaller font)
Everything seems to work except the Value field.
When adding the component the value is show correctly in the preview as being vertical, but when I add the component it is suddenly horizontal.
I have tried to remove the “Allow automatic placement” flag in the base part
And also un-ticked the “Automatically place symbol fields” in the editor to no avail.
(if I don’t change the editor setting it also moves the field)
The base part is added correctly
Is this a bug or am I just missing something?
