Feature request: Make selection in schematic somehow work with unplaced board components #754

Closed frmdstryr closed 11 months ago

frmdstryr commented 11 months ago

When placing decoupling caps I want them close to a specific component so I look at the schematic to find caps for the specific part then manually search through the unplaced list to find that cap.

Currently when I click on a symbol in the schematic it highlights that package on the board. This is a really helpful feature however it only works if the package was already placed on the board.

It would be a time saver if a selection in the schematic would also select the package in the unplaced list in the board editor and/or have some option in the schematic to "place on board" if that is possible.

Also sorry for all the noise lately, been knocking out a bunch of boards that were in progress.
