How can I swap the position of two components in pcbnew.exe
I had to exchange the coordinates of two components in order to swap them, this is impractical IMO.
One way to do it is to hover over the Footprints, press e for edit, and then change the Reference field of both Footprints.
Then:
Pcbnew / File / Export / Footprint Association File
Eeschema / File / Import / Footprint Association File
If your footprints are placed on a coarse grid it’s of course easy to just drag them to their new loacations. If they already have attached tracks, that start in the center of a pad. then you can move the footprints by grabbing a pad, and snap it to the end of the track of the other location.
