It’s a bit off-topic question, but seems like a few active Database users here.
Id’ like to ask if with the new Database approach to Parts inventory, KICAD supports an easy way to “pick” or “exchange” component?
Like for example, I’m using 1k 0603 resistor for R17, and would like to replace it with 2k2 0402. Is it getting as simple as selecting “Pick new part” and search the list of available items?
With the standard approach, it was quite cumbersome to the point that building personal library of “fully defined parts” was not a reasonable option to me.
So, what’s the paradigm now? Can we easily use “Parts” with the DB engine?
Here’s my old topic on that matter: Components "Superlibrary" - #26 by fred4u
I can find a GITLAB ticket that also touches this matter: KiCad Library Symbol Editor - "Value" is hard linked to "Symbol name" (#9389) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
