'Null' footprint needed?

[John_Pateman]

Have a look at this thread which suggest a way of managing this (and the side effects that you might need to take into account).

Skipping some components on PCB creation

I have schematics that contains elements like potentiometers, motors and buttons that are part of schematics but should not be mounted on PCB but connected via connectors. When I create PCB, KiCAD insists that all components from shematics are placed on PCB. I cannot find way to avoid that. The only way I managed to do is to remove those components from shematics which is ridiculous solution. Is there better way to do it? Something like marking component not to be mounted on PCB I use KiCad V…
