I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.
This is an auto-generated message that is in place on the “footprints” section of the KiCad.info forum. If I remove it and ask for a footprint to be designed anyway, I understand that I will be subject to forum members telling me to go design my own footprint or referring me to a 3rd party footprint site.
Hello,
I am fairly new to KiCAD and I am working on my first project. When I first started my layout, I was able to move a footprint by simply highlighting it and pressing m. However, that is not the case anymore. When I box a component to highlight it, it instead surrounds the component with a yellow box and then a pop up appears that says “Block Operation”. I attached an image of this below. I can still move the component doing this but it is more clunky and inefficient than the other way. Also, I used to be able to place a track fairly easy by just connecting two points. Now the track is translucent and requires me to right click and press end track to make the connection. Did I accidentally change a setting without realizing? How can I revert this? Thank you.
