For the Schematics, already since the 6.0, I asked if there was anything to create a template that is taken to EACH new project, without being constrained each time to select it.
Is it implemented in the 7.0.0? I ask it because I don’t find this feature.
perhaps is buried somewhere else and/or it’s called in a different way than what I expect
I think the question isn’t how to use templates, but how any newly created project will have your chosen template already (without manually selecting your favorite one each time).
FOr the PCBs I have nto problem with tempaltes, I already created one, for instance, to have the PCB format of a 500 Series Audio
What I want i sin both Schematics and PCB: I want to create a template of the drawing that includes my logo, my data, my “what I want”, into the lower right corner of the design …
And each time I click on NEW PROJECT, it goes directly to that template, without:
asking to it
going to looking for it
wasting time to search on how to tell to KiCAD: use that template. Stop!
and so fare, I don’t see anything like this in the version 7.0.0 either.
yes indeed. Since i watched your video I’m working ot this. And indeed the Templates is working fine.
Now I have to discover how to change the title-block. I mean rows and sizes.
You have me a tremendous help. Thank you so much
EDIT/ I discovered the .WKS (WorkSheet) files. Now it’s ok. Again: thank you so much
Yes, The project template includes your defaults for the schematic editor and PCB editor. I use it in v6. What I would like is to save my template as a “factory” default (so I can just “start a new project” instead of “starting a new project from a template” and each time choose the same template).
Maybe one day…
It was not “delivered” because nobody built this in time for the feature freeze. This is something I want myself and it’s on my list for this year to implement it, but I find the attitude where you want something and then are surprised that someone else hasn’t already made it for you, for free, rather disappointing. These things take effort.
Indeed. I often noticed this and when I remarked it: there was a thunderstorm of “not trues”.
And in deep: there is always “if it’s free” etc … or worse “you get for the value you pay” … which is really firingback with the ones would like to make any money offer.
@craftyjon I did ask as well. I don’t recall where exactly because it was in the beginning of the version 6.0.0.
I do remember I came first here. Probably thy suggested me GitLab and so far I remember I think I have requested it up there.
not clue how to research this on GitLab honestly. It’s not my cup-of-tea up there.
