KiCad local library #34

Closed andreisperid closed 1 year ago

andreisperid commented 1 year ago

I've used symbols, components and footprints installed on my local global library.

To facilitate collaboration and further iterations, I will try to bring this library locally to the project's KiCad directory.

Since version 6, symbols are embedded into the KiCAD project, so you don‘t need to. It loaded perfectly fine on my site.

KiCad 6.0 also features a brand-new schematic and symbol library file format, based on the format used for KiCad board and footprint files. This new format enables long-desired features such as embedding symbols used in a schematic directly in the schematic file, so that cache libraries are no longer needed

Nice, but what about the components, footprints and 3d models?

Did all of them loaded perfectly, with editing capabilities?

Knochi commented 1 year ago

For footprints it’s the same. For 3D models you can use the plugin „Archive 3D Models“

So I think its alright, thanks @Knochi !
