Error Syncing Subsheet #25

Closed gauravmm closed 5 days ago

gauravmm commented 3 months ago

From @wolfgangr

Migrated from 5.0.1 (old debian) to 8.0.4 (flatpack) just to get your plugin working. I'm tearing my hair to replicate your workflow.

How do I sync the subsheet with the project your plugin requires?

Not matter wheter I try to include the subsheet into the project for sub-pcb, or the other way round - oben the sub-projects sheet in the main as hierarchical file, I get errors like "this file is part of another project, may break library" or so. When I continue nevertheless, I get weird errors on netlist generation and rules check, complaining of wires not connected to anything, although they are drawn as connected. I cannot generate PCB from such broken schematics.

Or do I simply have to draw the schematic two times - once in the hierarchy and once as PCB template????

Hey! You shouldn't have to draw the schematic two times. I've not seen this bug before, would it be possible for you to post a MWE?

sorry for the late response - sometimes, live comes into the way ...

As far as I can remember, there were other issues with Kicad 8, to I reworked my project on 5 with some hacking skripts in the project files to get my job done.

So if nobody else reports a similiar issue, I'd suggest to tread it as a singular issue, not worth to spend too much of your and my rare life time.

Thanks! I'll keep a lookout for similar bugs.
