Need some instruction how to use templates

Hi there,

two weeks ago I have started with KiCAD and like it very much. Now I would like to use the template function but could not find clear instructions how to use it. Where can I get some info?

thanks,

Have you seen this documentation chapter?
http://docs.kicad.org/en/kicad.html#_using_templates

I haven’t created templates yet, but I don’t see the point for personal use.

Nevertheless thanks for the link.
There seems to be a lot more information about KiCAD.

The templates donn’t work on my computer too. I think KiCad fell into one of these Microsoft traps concerning from WIN7 and up. For files written to and accessible by any user, you shall use . is partially virtually - and different for each user.

I copied <kicad.pro> to another place and renamed the original.
Then I used a simple text edito on <kicad.pro> and changed the settings to what I want. If you see the text, it’s quite obvious how to do that. Take one of your project files as a reference.

Then shovel this modified <kicad.pro> to its original path. When I now open a new project, everything I want is there.

I can’t find a bug report for this.
Could you investigate more and create a new bug report? It’s easy once you’ve created an account.
