Modify multiple pads at once

Layout Footprints
1

Hi.
Is there any way to select more than one pin in a footprint (in footprint editor) and modify one or more property for all pins? For example, I need wider pins on an existing footprint and I wish to change the width on all pins.
I use 7.0.1 version.
Thanks!

In such situation I:

  • modify one pad,
  • right-click and ‘Copy Pad Properties to Default’,
  • select many pads (this one can be included also),
  • right-click and ‘Paste Default Pad Properties to Selected’.

In addition to the mentioned “Copy Pad Properties to Default”:

  • you could use “Push Pad properties to other pads” from context-menu

And to give a outlook for next years kicad v8: The properties panel (in v7 available in the board editor) will be integrated into the footprint-editor - so changing multiple pads at once is possible with that properties panel. For interested uers: the current nightly version already contains the panel)
