Hi,
what is the purpose of adding NPTH (mounting holes) in schematic?
Is there a downside in just addig a NTPH to PCB, not to schematic?
Comming from EAGLE 5.11 the idea of adding a simple drill to the schematic is new to me,
I’m willing to learn!
You can choose, but if add directly to the layout, lock the footprint so that it’s not accidentally deleted in the schematic -> layout update process. Otherwise it’s mostly a matter of taste. Some people like to have it in the schematic for example because it can be added to BOM for the fastening screws etc.
OK, got it, Thank’s a lot!
As I find the lock-feature to be a bit unsafe (status is not visible, have a look at eagle!), I’ll add the holes to schematic, for not to loose them accidently. One GND-connected hole is present there anyway.
You can comment on https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2113 if you have for example a screenshot or screencast. Giving a thumb up for an issue may push it upwards in the importance list of developers.
