5.99: "Not in schematic" attribute should probably be set #46

Closed alexvlockwood-bes closed 3 years ago

Since the labels are pasted directly into the layout, they don't correspond to anything in the schematic, and thus usually get deleted on the next sch→pcb sync. If "Not in schematic" is set, they are kept.

I agree! This is only an option in 5.99 though right? Along with exclude from BOM which probably also makes sense for these logos.

A quick work-around is to make sure Delete footprints with no symbols is not checked when updating the PCB. Screenshot from 2021-05-08 09-48-41

Yeah this is a 5.99-specific option. I know the workaround, but normally I do want symbols that disappeared in the schematic to also be deleted in the PCB.

It looks like we're originally using (attr virtual) which was being extended to the newer v6 syntax of (attr exclude_from_pos_files exclude_from_bom)

On v6 the labels should new be using: (attr board_only exclude_from_pos_files exclude_from_bom)
